ten  Runge  show  off  their  individuality  with  their  new  class 
rings.  On  ring  day  it  is  traditional  to  have  your  class  ring 
turned  to  represent  the  year  of  graduation.  These  juniors 
work  on  having  rings  turned  95  times.

Whoa. .  .Watch  out  for  that  glare!  Juniors  Richard 
Carlson,  Christian  Batchellor,  Zach  Kreager,  and  Ryan 
Vaughn  marvel  at  the  uniqueness  of  their  class  rings.  For 
most  juniors,  fing  day  was  perhaps  one  of  the  most  mem¬ 
orable  high  school  events.  Eating  hamburgers  fresh  from  the 
grill  and  turning  rings  were  also  highlights. 


Captured  in  a  Dream.  Misty  Henderson  and  George 
Wimbush  rest  after  a  full  night  of  dancing. 

The  prom  is  an  exciting  event  for  the  juniors  and  seniors. 


A  Special  Day.  The  Varsity  Club  sponsors  Special 
Olympics  each  year  for  county-wide  participants.  Lucinda 
Cassady,  Jennifer  Wright,  and  Allison  Gammons  take  ad¬ 
vantage  of  the  beautiful  April  weather  as  participants  in 
several  events.  One  activity  they  enjoy  is  face  painting  which 
was  provided  by  several  art  club  members.

a  bad  fact.  It  is  a  fact  of

Trademarks  of  the  Past.  Although  they  were  merely 
memories  in  the  halls,  the  previous  dasses  left  their  sense  of 
individuality  and  school  pride  for  all  to  see.  Each  senior  wall 
practically  spoke  to  visitors  telling  a  tale  of  reflections  of  the 
past  and  hopes  for  the  future.

Hidden  Surprises.  During  homecoming  week,  students 
took  advantage  of  many  opportunities  to  win  a  variety  of 
prizes.  Decorating  lockers  was  one  way  to  qualify  for  prizes 
and  winners  appeared  before  the  student  body  to  “collect” 
their  prizes.  Little  did  Sarah  Dean  know  that  her  prize  was 
hidden  in  an  inflated  balloon  which  was  burst  before  an 
audience  of  over  1000. 


Step  to  the  Beat.  A  new  and  exciting  edition  to  the  school 
was  the  Step  Team.  With  rhythm  and  unique  style,  the 
members  of  the  team  performed  at  pep  rallies  and  other 
school  functions.  This  new  edition  was  just  one  of  the 
whirlwind  changes  that  took  place  over  the  summer.

STUDENT  LIFE  DIVIDER 


Not  So  Fast!  Wayne  Hill  and  friend  try  to  hold  on  while 
principal  Mr.  Bill  Dillon  transports  them  across  the  field  on 
the  golf  cart.  On  special  Olympics  days,  students  had  the 
opportunity  to  relax  on  golf  carts  after  working  and  playing 
hard. 

Here  At  Last.  After  a  long  bus  ride  to  school  in  the 
morning,  Nikki  Brown,  Becky  Milligan,  and  Mandy 
Coleman  rush  to  see  their  friends  so  they  can  catch  up  on 
gossip.  Some  students  had  as  much  as  a  40  minute  bus  ride 
to  school  each  morning.

WHAT  NEXT?  Melanie  Harbour,  mem¬ 
ber  of  the  track  team,  gazes  across  the 
football  field  to  find  her  partner’s  next  ath¬ 
letic  event.  The  young  girl  enjoys  a  soda  pop 
and  her  new  t-shirt. 


77 6  B.C.  marked  the  begin¬ 
ning  of  the  Olympic  Games  in 
Greece,  which  were  a  series  of 
events  in  which  superior  ath¬ 
letes  gathered  to  demonstrate 
their  strength,  fortitude  and 
skill.  On  April  19,  1994,  su¬ 
perior  athletes  gathered  on  the 
PCHS  football  field  to  dem¬ 
onstrate  their  strength,  fortitude 
and  skill.  This  event  was  the 
annual  Special  Olympics. 

Unlike  other  Olympic 
games,  however,  this  highly  an¬ 
ticipated  contest  did  not  focus 
heavily  on  just  winning;  instead, 
the  triumph  of  attempting  a 
feat  and  doing  one’s  best  was 
emphasized.  The  creed  of  the 
Special  Olympics  is,  in  fact, 
“Let  me  win;  but  if  I  cannot 
win,  let  me  be  brave  in  the 
attempt.”  Susan  Cummings, 
varsity  football  cheerleader,  re¬ 
marked,  “I  enjoyed  seeing  all  the 
younger  kids  having  such  a 
good  time.  They  all  had  such 
great  outlooks  and  positive  at¬ 
titudes  despite  their  disabili¬ 
ties.” 

The  Special  Olympians,  who 


teamed  up  with  varsity  club  mem¬ 
bers  for  the  day,  were  indeed  brave 
in  their  attempts.  The  athletes  trav¬ 
ersed  from  the  five  nearby  elemen¬ 
tary  schools,  the  PARC  workshop, 
and  the  Patrick  County  Develop¬ 
mental  Center  to  compete  in  events 
such  as  frisbee  toss,  softball  throw, 
50  yard  dash,  and  the  long  jump. 
Like  other  Olympic  athletes,  these 
athletes  had  trained  long  and  hard 
for  competition,  and  it  showed. 
“Seeing  kids  with  disabilities  put 
forward  this  tremendous  amount  of 
effort  allows  us  to  be  more  ap¬ 
preciative  of  our  athletic  abilities,” 
quipped  varsity  football  play¬ 
er,  Wes  Jones.  All  participants  en- 


"Helping  the  little 
kids  was  fun,  but  it 
was  a  lot  of  hard 
work.  It  paid  off  in 
the  end  to  see 
their  smiles."  - 
Stephanie  Fain 


thusiastically  approached  the 
awards  tent  to  receive  ribbons 
for  their  endeavors. 

In  between  events,  Olympi¬ 
ans  could  have  their  faces  paint¬ 
ed  or  receive  a  temporary  tattoo, 
play  frisbee  or  just  hang  out 
with  varsity  club  members,  who 
quickly  became  friends  with 
their  partners.  “I  enjoyed  help¬ 
ing  out  with  Special  Olympics 
not  only  because  I  was  out  of 
class  all  day,  but  drawing  the 
temporary  tattoos  turned  out  to 
be  fun,”  commented  wresder 
Andy  Stanley.  At  12:00,  the 
athletes  took  a  break  for  lunch, 
as  the  Olympians  snacked  on 
packed  lunches  and  the  varsity 
club  ate  hamburgers. 

For  all  who  participated,  the 
Special  Olympics  proved  to  be  a 
worthwhile  and  enjoyable  ex¬ 
perience.  Olympian  Floyd  Wil¬ 
lard  expressed  his  eagerness  by 
exclaiming, “I  can’t  wait  ’til 
next  year!” 


WAITING  FOR  WARM-UPS.  Varsity 
Club  members  “Doodle”  (Stephanie  Fain), 
Leah  Martin,  and  Paul  Craver  appear  a  litde 
groggy  as  they  wait  for  the  Special  Olympics 
warm-ups  to  begin. 


“IS  THIS  PERMANANT?”  wonders  this 
special  olympian  as  Andy  Stanley  draws  an 
original  temporary  tattoo  on  his  arm.  Other 
athletes  had  their  faces  painted  with  designs 
such  as  rainbows  and  hearts.

member  Misty  Hazelwood  helps  a  young 
olympian  hold  her  frisbee  before  com¬

athletes,  the  spetial  attention  was  worth 
much  more  than  the  blue  ribbon. 


ARE  YOU  READY?  Angie  Noonkester 
gets  her  new  friend  all  psyched  up  for  a 
workout  even  though  it  was  early  Tuesday 
morning.  The  athlete  is  wearing  his  new 
Special  Olympics  t-shirt  which  reads 
“Courage,  Growth,  Confidence,  Joy.”

not  only  because  1  was

"1  really  enjoyed  the 
Special  Olympics;  my 
kids  were  great.  They

keep  up  with,  but  they 
were  really  sweet  and 
fun."  -  Sradly  Wood

HEY,  YOUR  PLAQUE’S  BIGGER 
THAN  MINE!  Mr.  Beasley  seems  to  be 
looking  at  Mr.  Plaster’s  plaque;  in  reality, 
Mr.  Beasley  was  just  looking  over  to  speak 
to  Mr.  Dillon. 


Worthy  Winners 


“Please  settle  down  students. 
I  would  like  to  welcome  you  all 
to  the  Distinguished  Patrick 
Countian  assembly  today.’’ 
These  words,  spoken  by  SCA 
coordinator  Diane  Hughes,  set- 
ded  down  the  student  body  as 
the  students  realized  it  was  time 
to  get  serious.  Each  year,  five 
students  from  every  area  of  the 
county  try  diligendy  to  honor  a 
native  Patrick  Countian  who 
has  met  great  goals  in  his  or  her 
life. 

The  high  school  band  enter¬ 
tained  the  students  and  faculty 
with  their  award-winning  con¬ 
cert  piece  as  did  the  Chorus  by 
singing,  “Who  Will  Be  a  Wit¬ 
ness  for  My  Lord?”  and 
“Memory.’’  Jill  Lawson  intro¬ 
duced  the  Community  Service 
Award  receipent,  Mr.  Phillip 
Plaster  of  Patrick  Springs. 

Plaster  was  very  modest 
when  he  accepted  the  award.  “I 
don’t  think  I  deserve  this 
award,  but  I’ll  take  it  anyway,’’ 
replied  Plaster.  Plaster  has  been 
very  active  in  community  proj¬ 


ects  such  as  Ruriatn  Club  member, 
youth  director,  music  director,  and 
Ruritan  of  the  Year  Receipent. 
When  speaking  on  the  subject  of 
public  service,  Plaster  stated, 
“Public  service  improves  the  equal¬ 
ity  of  all  of  us  here  in  Patrick 
County.” 

Before  Mr.  Plaster’s  close,  he 
gave  some  words  of  advice  to  the 
student  body.  “You’re  the  best 
we’ve  got.  You  can  stand  on  your 
own  rock  and  fight  your  own  bat¬ 
tles  if  you  wish  to.  I  want  to  thank 
you  for  this  oppurtunity.  God  Bless 
You  All.” 

After  Mr.  Plaster’s  speech,  Kelly 
Gray  introduced  Mr.  George  Beas- 


"lt  bothers  me  to 
hear  people  speak 
negatively  about 
what  we  have  here 
in  Patrick  County."  - 
Phillip  Plaster 


ley  as  the  Distinguished  Patrick 
Countian.  Beasley  is  a  native 
Patrick  Countian  who  now  re¬ 
sides  in  Florida.  Beasley  attend¬ 
ed  Appalachian  State,  National 
Business  School,  has  been  an 
assistant  principal,  served  on  the 
Chancellor’s  Committee  at  Ap¬ 
palachian  State,  and  UNC  at 
Chapel  Hill. 

Beasley  spoke  to  the  student 
body  about  what  high  school 
life  was  like  for  him  and  gave 
several  points  of  advice  to  the 
students.  “You  have  to  get 
good  education.  Be  the  best  you 
can  be,  be  concerned  about  our 
environment,  be  concerned 
about  the  ozone  and  recycling, 
and  conserving  your  future.  Set 
goals  you  can  reach,  and  once 
you  reach  those  goals  set  some 
more.” 

The  Distinguished  Patrick 
Countian  Committee  for  the 
1993-94  school  year  included 
Wes  Jones,  Justin  McHone,  Jill 
Lawson,  Rachel  Bowman,  and 
Kelly  Gray.

All  Pecked  Out 


Hearing  cries  of  “Ouch!” 
from  people  on  tall  ladders  as 
they  pinned  up  blue  foil  sil¬ 
houettes,  blaring  music,  and 
pops  from  bursting  balloons  was 
not  uncommon  if  you  were  a 
junior  decorating  for  prom. 
These  students  stayed  from 
8:30  to  11:30  locked  in  the 
gymnasium  while  diligently 
working  on  decorating  the  soon- 
to-be  ballroom.  It’s  obvious 
hard  work  and  effort  paid  off. 
The  prom  was  a  tremendous 
success. 

Planning  for  the  prom  was  no 
easy  task  for  these  juniors.  The 
decorating  committee,  consist¬ 
ing  of  juniors,  planned,  chose, 
and  debated  over  the  best 
choices  of  decorations.  Once 
they  chose  a  decoration,  it  was 
stressed  to  keep  it  a  secret.  No 
one  was  to  know  about  it  until 
the  big  night. 

As  April  23  rolled  around, 
prom  was  nearly  on  everyone’s 
minds.  Students  came  dressed 
as  their  best,  showing  off  the 
finest  in  evening  gowns  and 
tuxedos.  As  students  entered 


they  saw  a  black  and  white  check¬ 
erboard  floor,  and  blue  foil  silhou¬ 
ettes  of  couples  dancing.  Clusters  of 
marbleized  balloons  accented  the 
entrance  and  the  theme  “Captured 
in  a  Dream”  seemed  altogether  fit¬ 
ting. 

Laughter  could  be  heard  above 
the  music  as  couples  and  friends 
enjoyed  each  other’s  company.  A 
group  of  dancers  on  the  floor  of 
girls  who  had  kicked  off  their  shoes 
and  guys  rid  of  their  jackets  danced 
the  night  through.  A  cluster  of 
students  conversing  with  parents  at 
the  refreshment  table  added  to  the 
socializing  scene.  All  in  all,  the 
mood  of  the  students  was  enjoy- 


"1  felt  the  prom  was 
a  once  or  twice  in  a 
lifetime  experience. 
The  downfall  is,  it's 
so  boring!"  -  Curd 
Roar 


able,  definitely  a  night  to  re¬ 
member. 

It  might  have  seemed  over 
once  the  music  ended,  but  the 
students  were  in  for  a  long  night 
ahead.  An  after-prom  party, 
held  by  SCAT  ,  (an  anti-drug 
and  peer  pressure  group  made 
up  of  parents  and  active  com¬ 
munity  members)  was  where 
most  of  the  students  headed. 
With  the  theme  “Mardi  Gras”, 
the  decorations  were  captivat¬ 
ing,  masks  highlighted  tables 
and  many  activities  were  avail¬ 
able  for  the  students  to  par¬ 
ticipate  in.  A  highlight  of  the 
night  was  The  Wall,  where  stu¬ 
dents  dressed  in  velcro  and 
threw  themselves  at  a  wall,  also 
dressed  in  velcro.  There  was  also 
a  beauty  pageant,  where  many 
beautiful  guys  dressed  as  fe¬ 
males  showed  their  stuff.  Near 
the  end  of  the  long,  but  fun- 
filled  night,  were  door  prized 
where  many  students  recieved 
gifts  from  a  six  pack  of  Pepsi,  to 
a  cooler  to  put  it  in.  Although, 
the  students  must  have  been 
“Captured  in  a  Dream”.

PARIS  TRIP 


C'est  Magnifique 


On  July  26,  a  sleepy  crowd  of 
about  60  anxious  faces  met  at 
7:00  am  in  the  high  school 
parking  lot  to  board  their  char¬ 
ter  bus  to  Washington  and 
catch  their  first  flight  at  Na¬ 
tional  Airport.  For  many  stu¬ 
dents,  the  flight  from  Wash¬ 
ington  to  Logan  Airport  in 
Boston  was  a  first.  After  a  two 
hour  layover,  students  were 
ready  to  head  off  to  their  des¬ 
tination,  “The  City  of  Light.’’ 
Many  fears  of  flying  were  put  to 
rest  over  the  smooth,  eight  hour 
ride  to  the  Charles  de  Gaulle 
airport  in  Paris,  France.  Those 
with  window  seats  on  the  plane 
were  fortunate  enough  to  catch 
a  glimpse  of  such  places  as

Once  arriving  in  Paris,  the 
large  mass  of  Americans  stayed 
busy  finding  their  hotel,  the 
“Beausejour,’’and  purchasing 
metro  tickets,  which  allowed 
them  to  ride  frequently  on  Par¬ 
is’  most  commonly  used  form  of 
transportation,  the  subway. 


From  then  on,  it  was  a  non-stop 
sight  seeing  frenzy,  as  the  Paris 
group  went  out  on  the  town. 

Everyone  took  in  breathtaking 
sights  such  as  the  Champs  Elysees, 
Arc  de  Triomphe,  Napoleon’s 
Tomb,  and  the  Sorbonne  Univer¬ 
sity.  For  those  who  shared  a  love  of 
art,  museums  were  a  common  fa¬ 
vorite.  The  Centre  Pompadou,  of 
modern  art  and  the  Musee  D’Orsay 
containing  French  impressionists’ 
paintings  were  gorgeous,  but  for 
most  the  Louvre  was  their  favorite. 
Housing  such  pieces  as  the  Mona 
Lisa  and  “Winged  Victory,”  the 
Louvre  attracted  many  visitors.  An¬ 
other  great  attraction  was  the  Art-

ists’  Corner  in  Monmontre. 
Many  students  had  a  street  art¬ 
ist  paint  their  self-portrait,  and 
several  bought  an  “artist’s  orig¬ 
inal.”  Other  sights  of  interest 
were  the  cathedrals  Notre  Dame 
and  Sacre  Couer,  and  the 
chateaus,  such  as  Versailles,  the 
home  of  Louis  XIV.  Many  from 
the  group  attended  a  mass  cer¬ 
emony  held  at  one  of  the  many 
Catholic  churches  in  Paris. 

The  vacationers  participated 
in  once-in-a-lifetime  activities 
such  as  going  up  in  the  Eiffel 
Tower,  sampling  perfumes  and 
pastries,  and  even  turning  more 
than  a  few  heads  as  they  tore  up 
the  dance  floor  in  a  Parisian 
disco.  They  sampled  many 
french  cuisines,  such  as  crepes 
and  chicken  cordon  bleu,  and 
purchased  everything  from  wine 
to  silk  ties.  Under  the  brave

Excitement  was  in  the  air 
throughout  homecoming  week. 
A  talented  football  team,  spir¬

astic  fans  were  all  part  of  mak¬ 
ing  homecoming  week  a 
success.  Led  by  president 
MaCray  Huff,  the  SCA  tried  to 
come  up  with  innovative  ideas 
to  show  student  participation  in 
the  week’s  festivities.  There 
were  the  evcr-popular  dress-up 
days,  such  as  pajama  day,  fa¬ 
vorite  college  day,  mourning 
day,  and  of  course,  green  and 
gold  day. 

Sarah  Dean  said,  “Dress-up 
day’s  are  great  because  they  pro¬ 
vide  a  fun  way  to  show  school 
spirit.”  there  was  also  a  new 
activity  invited  each  homeroom

SCHOOL'S 


— 


m 


It’s  summertime,  and  every¬ 
one  is  doing  the  usual  things; 
going  to  the  beach,  hanging  out 
at  the  pool,  hanging  with 
friends,  and  going  to  school. 
“Going  to  school  ?!??!  During 
the  summer?!  What  kind  of 
nightmare  is  this?”  you  ask. 

Well  for  ten  students  who 
participated  in  Governor’s 
Schools  and  Boys’  and  Girls’ 
State  this  past  summer,  it 
wasn’t  a  nightmare  at  all;  rath¬ 
er,  a  choice  they  made,  and  one 
they  did  not  regret. 

Why  were  these  students  so 
hyped  up  about  hitting  the 
books  during  summer  vacation? 
It  was  partially  because  it  was  a 
great  honor  just  to  be  accepted, 
and  also  because  it  gave  aca¬ 
demically  talented  students  an 
opportunity  to  explore  an  area 
of  great  interest  go  them,  while 
meeting  people  with  whom 
they  had  a  great  deal  in  com¬ 
mon.  Said  Pam  Alexander,  who 
attended  the  Governor’s  School 
for  the  Arts,  “One  of  the  best 
things  about  Governor’s  School 
was  the  fact  that  I  was  sur¬ 


SHOWTIME.  As  Victor  Deekens  and 
friends  perform  a  skit,  one  enthused  Gov¬ 
ernor’s  School  student  settles  in  for  a  snooze

rounded  by  students  who  were  on 
the  same  level  intellectually  and  it 
was  ‘cool’  to  be  smart;  instead  of 
being  considered  ‘nerdy’or  ‘silly,’ 
our  intelligence  and  individualism 
were  appreciated  and  welcomed.” 
On  the  other  hand,  Mary  Bryant 
and  Sally  Thomas  looked  at  the 
long-term  benefits  of  taking  part  in 
these  summer  programs.  Mary, 
who  participated  in  the  Medical 
College  of  Virginia’s  Internship  for 
Medicine,  thought,  “it  was  a  ben¬ 
eficial  experience  because  I  got  to 
do  and  see  a  lot  of  things  that  I 
wouldn’t  normally,  like  being  in  an 
operating  room,  and  it  really 
helped  me  decide  what  direction  I

want  to  go  and  what  I  plan  to 
do  in  the  future.”  Similarly, 
Sally  Thomas,  a  delegate  to 
Girls’  State,  pointed  out  that 
“we  need  to  learn  about  state 
government  because  someday 
our  turn  will  come  to  be  in 
charge.” 

Of  course,  Governor’s  School 
was  not  all  work  and  no  play;  in 
fact,  what  most  participants  re¬ 
member  the  most  are  the 
friends  they  made  and  the  fun 
things  they  did.  Vic  Deekens 
related,  “I  made  countless  good 
friends,  despite  the  fact  that  at  a 
recent  reunion  several  of  these 
friends  stole  all  my  belongings 
while  I  was  showering,  except 
my  towel.  I  was  then  forced  to 
run  100  yards  across  an  open 
field  in  front  of  a  hundred  peo¬ 
ple,  wearing  only  a  towel.”

In  fashion,  it  was  the  bigger 
the  better  this  year,  as  oversized 
jeans  and  shirts  continued  to 
dominate  many  students'  ward¬ 
robes.  For  many  guys,  name 
brand  jeans  like  Boss,  Karl 
Kani,  Guess,  and  Levi  Strauss 
were  commonly  paired  with 
sweatshirts  or  button  down 
plaid  shirts,  as  some  girls  chose 
cute  looks  like  overalls  and  short 
skirts  accompanied  by  knee 
socks.  Originality  was  the  key 
for  many  people,  although  oth¬ 
ers  chose  to  be  more  simple  in 
their  dress,  perhaps  purposely 
blending  into  the  crowd. 

One  most  important  factor  in 
an  outfit  was  shoes.  Several  stu¬ 
dents  came  back  from  Christ¬ 
mas  vacation  wearing  their  new 
pairs  of  Guess  shoes  and  boots. 
Of  course,  athletic  shoes  were 
still  in  style,  including  Fila  and 
Nike.  The  success  of  the  wres¬ 
tling  team  may  have  had  some¬ 
thing  to  do  with  their  Gel- 
Asics;  when  wrestling  season 
rolled  around  the  brightly 
striped  shoes  were  not  only  seen 


on  the  grapplers  but  on  students 
who  admired  the  shoe’s  appearance 
and  comfort.  “Do  you  think  the 
red  one’s  are  cook”  asked  Todd 
Keith,  who  bought  his  girlfriend  a 
pair.  Todd  later  remained  unde¬ 
feated  in  his  first  year  on  the  team. 

Many  females  went  crazy  over 
more  unique  shoes,  including  Su¬ 
san  Hopkins,  whose  favorite  pair 
was  her  black  NaNa’s.  Other  pop¬ 
ular  styles  included  Mary  Jane's  in 
canvas,  leather,  even  velvet.  Bass 
Bucs  and  Gibsons  by  Doc  Marten 
were  everyday  shoes  as  strappy 
heels  or  clogs  were  reserved  for 
weekends  or  dress-up  days. 

Speaking  of  dress-up  days,  many 


"Fashion. . . 
we'd  be  naked 
without  it."  - 
Carrie  Conner 


students  were  seen  roaming  the 
halls  in  dresses  or  suits  and  ties 
on  game  days.  A  popular  choice 
for  males  was  the  Looney  Toons 
tie,  and  some  girls  invested  in 
long  dresses  with  flower  prints. 

The  most  extreme  looks  ob¬ 
served  in  the  halls  included  su¬ 
per  baggy  pants  with  cropped 
tops,  short  short  skirts  with 
bodysuits,  tight  jeans  paired 
with  a  black  leather  jacket  and 
boots,  and  not  to  forget  the 
many  zany  hats  sported  by  more 
courageous  students.  Curt  Ror- 
rer  kept  warm  in  his  favorite 
Aviator  type  winter  hat  as  Ste¬ 
phen  Walker  capped  his  lid 
with  a  knit  beret  in  bright  col¬ 
ors. 

In  case  anyone  wonders  what 
the  average  student  wore,  here’s 
the  lowdown:  regular  fit  jeans, 
t-shirts,  tennis  shoes,  striped  or 
flannel  shirts  or  sweaters,  and 
the  occasional  baseball  hat  for 
guys  and  bun  or  ponytail  hair¬ 
style  for  chicks  with  longer  hair.

something  at  least  remotely  interesting  to 
watch.  Some  favorite  programs  were  “Mad 
About  You,’’  “Seinfeld,”  and  “My  So- 
Called  Life.’’ 


SO  MANY  TAPES,  SO  LITTLE  TIME. 

Students  weren’t  always  worried  about  note¬ 
books  being  organized;  Stephen  Walker  at¬ 
tempts  to  organize  his  tape  collection  which 
no  doubt  included  titles  like  “Siamese 
Dream”  and  “Nothing’s  Shocking.” 


Popular  Picks  for  94 


Looking  for  advice  about  life? 
“Life  is  like  a  box  of  chocolates; 
you  never  know  what  you’re 
gonna  get,”  says  Forrest  Gump. 
Need  some  help  with  romance? 
“I’ll  Make  Love  To  You,”  says 
Boyz  II  Men.  Ever  been  em- 
barassed?  Well,  at  least  you  wer¬ 
en’t  caught  “Half  Asleep  In 
Frog  Pajamas,”  by  Tom  Rob¬ 
bins. 

Even  though  most  fans  wer¬ 
en’t  looking  at  what  was  hot  for 
help  or  advice,  the  box  office 
raked  in  the  dough  in  1994 
with  plenty  of  hit  movies;  phat 
sounds  topped  the  music  charts, 
and  the  shelves  of  book  stores 
were  bubbling  with  best  sellers. 

On  the  big  screen,  the  top 
five  most  popular  movies  in 
September  were  Timecop,  For¬ 
rest  Gump,  Natural  Born  Kill¬ 
ers,  The  Mask,  and  The  Lion 
King.  Some  of  this  fall’s  hit 
singles  were  “Stroke  You  Up” 
by  Changing  Faces,  “This  D.J.” 
by  Warren  G,  “Shine”  by  Col¬ 
lective  Soul,  “Tootsee  Roll”  by 
69  Boyz,  “Funkdafied”  by  Da 
Brat,  and  “Flava  In  Ya  Ear”  by 


Craig  Mack.  Fans  anticipated  the 
arrival  of  several  new  albums  this 
winter  by  popular  artists  including 
the  Black  Crowes,  Blues  Traveler, 
R.E.M.,  and  Pearl  Jam. 

Although  many  students  were 
burdened  with  required  reading  as¬ 
signments  for  novels  including  Cry, 
The  Beloved  Country  and  The  Great 
Gatsby,  some  found  extra  time  to 
read  books  for  entertainment.  A 
few  of  September’s  best  selling 
books  were  The  Bridges  of  Madison 
County  ,  by  Robert  James  Waller, 
The  Chamber  ,  by  John  Grisham, 
and  Men  Are  From  Mars,  Women 
Are  From  Venus,  by  John  Gray.

quired  students  to  literally  read 
between  the  lines.  The  book 
contained  stereograms  produced 
by  computer  that  the  human 
eye  interpreted  as  three  dimen¬ 
sional  type  images. 

Popular  television  shows  of 
the  year  featured  new  science 
fiction  programs  as  well  as  com¬ 
edies.  SeaQuest  and  Earth  2  en¬ 
thralled  fans  of  the  futuristic,  as 
hot  comedies  All  American  Girl 
and  Me  and  the  Boys  had  couch 
potatoes  about  to  “fry”  laugh¬ 
ing. 

What  was  out?  Susan  Powell 
disliked  “Barney,”  the  purple 
dinosaur  that,  while  singing 
songs  with  precious  children, 
drove  many  a  parent  and  in¬ 
nocent  bystander  insane.  Andy 
Stanley  hated  Counting  Crows 
while  Daisy  Scott  was  annoyed 
by  Dolly  Pardon’s  “PMS 
Blues.”  Much  to  Ms.  Hopkin’s 
dismay,  Todd  Keith’s  vote  for 
worst  movie  was  ‘  ‘Return  of  the 
Native.” 


SPEED.  “Speed,”  starring  Keanu  Reeves, 
entertained  many  movie  goers  with  edge-of- 
the-seat  action.  Even  those  renting  the  mov¬ 
ie,  like  Heath  Derrick,  could  feel  the  ex¬ 
citement  of  the  big  screen  on  the  somewhat 
smaller  screen  at  home.

P o  You  Remember  the  Time? 


Who  cares  about  math, 
lunch,  or  a  comer?  Who  cares 
about  salt,  pictures,  or  a  line? 
Who  cares?  Seniors!!  Finally,  the 
last  year  was  here.  All  the  little 
things  suddenly  seemed  impor¬ 
tant.  Whether  it  was  getting 
their  own  lunch  table  or  ex¬ 
changing  pictures  with  friends, 
seniors  were  guaranteed  to  re¬ 
member  the  details  of  their  final 
year  in  school,  with  friends,  at 
home  with  parents,  before  hav¬ 
ing  to  face  the  real  world  — 
work,  college,  maybe  even  mar¬ 
riage  and  parenthood. 

For  many  seniors,  sports 
events  will  be  the  most  prev¬ 
alent  memories.  The  varsity 
girls’  basketball  team  said  good¬ 
bye  to  Senior  Christy  Carlson, 
who  played  varsity  basketball 
for  four  years.  Carlson  com¬ 
mented,  “I  have  experienced  so 
much  —  from  learning  respon¬ 
sibility  to  enduring  the  strain  of 
an  injury.  I  will  never  forget  the 
last  home  ball  game  and  think¬ 
ing  ‘this  is  it.’  I’m  going  to  miss 


so  much,  and  the  memories  will  be 
with  me  forever.” 

‘‘Twenty  three  years  of  drought, 
there’s  a  monsoon  a-comin’,”  read 
the  Cougar  football  t-shirt,  which 
proved  to  be  true.  Finally,  Patrick 
County  pulled  through  with  a  win¬ 
ning  season,  8-2.  Most  especially 
for  Seniors  going  to  state  compe¬ 
tition  was  the  thrill  of  a  lifetime. 
Seven  team  members  were  named 
to  the  AJl-District  team.  Andy 
Stanley  was  even  named  ‘‘Player  of 
the  Week”  by  Channel  7  News. 

Others  held  dear  more  unique 
memories.  Stephanie  Fain,  Gill 
Coe,  Christy  Carlson,  Whitney 
Rea,  Tara  Dawson,  Pam  Alexan- 


"I'm  going  to  mis5  all 
my  f  riends  in

Hazelwood 


der,  and  Jamie  Holt  will  always 
remember  first  lunch  and  all  the 
conversations  spent  discussing 
what  happened  over  the  week¬ 
end.  A  most  cherished  memory 
held  by  Susan  Hopkins  includ¬ 
ed  thoughts  of  “the  sucky  sen¬ 
ior  song,  flowers,  and  colors  that 
we  ended  up  with  after  my  un¬ 
fortunately  futile  attempts  to 
get  ‘End  of  the  World’  by 
R.E.M.  on  the  ballot.” 

Many  seniors  became  senti¬ 
mental  when  thoughts  of  college 
came  to  mind.  Of  graduating 
high  school,  Lori  Perry  said, 
“Although  I  will  be  more  than 
happy  to  leave  this  place,  I  will 
miss  my  friends  alot.  I  will  cher¬ 
ish  the  memories  I  have  with 
them,  the  good  along  with  the 
bad.  They  will  all  be  special  to 
me.  There  is  nothing  I  hope  to 
forget  because  everything  that 
has  happened  has  made  me 
who  I  am.  I  will  miss  every¬ 
thing,  but  I  can’t  wait  to  get  out 
into  the  real  world.  Hey,  it’s  all 
good!” 


t 


YOU  CAN  DUCK,  BUT  YOU  CAN’T 
HIDE!  Seniors  Carrie  Conner  and  Paul 
Craver  goof  off  while  waiting  to  be  dis¬ 
missed  to  their  cars.  The  feeling  of  pulling 
out  of  the  parking  lot  at  3:45  after  a  long 
day  at  school  was  missed  by  many  after 
graduation. 


GRANDPA  AND  GRANDMA!  Friends  Shasta 
Moricle  and  Mike  Hazelwood  will  always  remember 
their  special  nicknames  for  each  other  and  sharing 
lunchtime  together  every  day.

Not  Just  a  Flashback 


THE  TORCH  WAS  PASSED  in 
the  summer  of  1994.  After  hearing 
about  the  legendary  rock  festival 
from  their  parents  for  years,  a  new 
generation  seized  the  opportunity 
to  create  their  own  Woodstock. 
And  Woodstock  ’94  was  born. 
Several  hundred  thousand  people 
arrived  at  Saugerties,  N.Y.  for 
Woodstock  '94.  From  folk  music 
to  heavy  metal,  the  weekend  con¬ 


cert  was  filled  with  music  almost 
24-hours  a  day. 

Woodstock  II  featured  some  of 
the  same  bands  that  the  original 
Woodstock  hosted  like  Crosby, 
Stills  and  Nash,  as  well  as  modern 
stars  Garth  Brooks  and  Melissa 
Etheridge.  Other  concerts  that  mu¬ 
sically  bridged  the  time  gap  in¬ 
cluded  the  Rolling  Stones  and  the 
Eagles.

in  the  African  country  of  Rwanda

But  more  than  a  million  refugees 
were  forced  to  flee  to  Zaire  and 
other  neighboring  countries  a  year

Tutsi  Rwanda  Patriotic  Front.  Dis¬

Bosnian  War  Continues 


A  REFERENDUM  FOR  INDE¬ 
PENDENCE  from  Yugoslavia 
was  passed  in  1992,  but  war  and 
desperation  continued  to  be  part  of 
life  in  Bosnia-Herzegovina.  Ethnic 
Serbs’  opposition  sparked  fierce 
fighting;  Serbs  massacred  thou¬ 
sands  of  Bosnians,  mostly  civilians. 
And  it  wasn’t  long  after  the  ref¬ 
erendum  was  passed  that  Serb  na¬ 


tionalist  forces  occupied  70  percent 
of  Bosnia,  with  Croats  holding  a 
small  area.  A  year  later,  in  1993, 
Bosnian  Serbs,  Muslims,  and 
Croats  agreed  in  principle  to  par¬ 
tition  the  country  into  autonomous 
ethnic  regions.  But  as  1994  drew 
to  a  close,  the  fighting  continued 
and  negotiations  on  a  peace  plan 
made  slow  progress.

Baseball  Strikes  Out 


BASEBALL  SEASON  ended  ear¬ 
ly  in  1994.  The  players  went  on 
strike  in  August  and  a  month  later 
the  owners  voted  to  cancel  the  re¬ 
mainder  of  the  regular  season,  in¬ 
cluding  the  playoffs  and  the  World 
Series.  It  was  the  eighth  strike  in 
23  seasons.  The  dispute  centered 
on  the  owners’  demand  to  create 
cost  controls  thorough  a  salary  cap. 
The  players  wouldn’t  accept  it  and 


went  on  strike.  It  was  the  first  time 
since  1904  that  the  World  Series, 
which  had  survived  two  world  wars 
and  an  earthquake  since  its  incep¬ 
tion  in  1903,  was  not  played. 

Fans  were  openly  upset  that 
players  of  baseball,  an  American 
tradition,  would  let  desire  for  mon¬ 
ey  interfere  with  their  desire  for  the 
game.

Brazil  Wins  World  Cup 


THE  1994  WORLD  CUP  soccer 
competition  was  played  in  the 
United  States.  In  this  photo,  the 
U.S.  team  played  Brazil  but  lost  1- 
0  in  the  second  round.  Brazil  ad¬ 
vanced  to  the  finals  and  in  the  final 
game,  it  was  Brazil  vs.  Italy.  An 
estimated  2  billion  peole  world¬ 
wide  watched  Brazil  battle  Italy  to 
a  0-0  tie  for  120  minutes  at  the 
final  game  played  in  the  Rose 


Bowl.  Brazil  won  3-2  in  a  shootout. 

Local  students  with  a  shared  in¬ 
terest  in  soccer  joined  together  to 
create  an  intramural  team,  organ¬ 
ized  by  Dr.  Nicholas  Kipreos,  that 
practiced  once  or  twice  a  week  at 
Rotary  Field.  Informal  games  were 
scheduled  with  other  area  teams 
and  they  were  even  able  to  hold  a 
soccer  tournament.

as  an  easy  win  against  Michael 
rich  of  Germany.  The  24-year-old 
gassi  became  the  first  unseeded 
layer  to  win  the  crown  since  Fred 
tolle  in  1966  and  only  the  third  in 
le  114-year  history  of  the  tour- 
iment.  It  was  Agassi’s  first  U.S. 
pen  title. 


Unfortunately,  not  all  of  the  ten¬ 
nis  news  for  1994  was  so  positive. 
Jennifer  Capriati,  a  successful 
young  American  female  tennis 
player,  was  arrested  on  charges  of 
possession  of  marijuana  and  en¬ 
tered  into  a  rehabilitation  program  r 
shortly  after.  Capriati  planned  to 
get  back  into  the  game  as  soon  as 
possible.  '  ~  ;

Season  of  10-10 


“The  team  finished  the  season 
with  a  10-10  record  playing  well 
on  the  road.  We  had  big  wins  at 
Chatam,  Fieldale,and  Martinsville, 
’’commented  varsi¬ 
ty  baseball  Head 
CoachDavid 
Clememnt. 

Changes  were 
made  this  season 
giving  the  Cougars 
a  new  head  coach. 

The  Cougars 
started  out  the  sea¬ 
son  on  a  good  note 
winning  17-10 
over  Luarel  Park. 

For  the  rest  of  the 
first  part  of  the 
season  the  Cougars 
won  every  other 
game.  Their  second  game  they  lost 
to  Fieldale  Collinsvile  8-11,  then 
they  defeated  Chatam  10-6.  Next 
the  Cougars  played  Magna  Vista 
losing  2-5,  but  they  came  back  the 
next  game  and  defeated  Bassett  by 
a  narrow  4-2  margin.  Martinville 
was  the  next  opponent,  giving  the 
team  their  most  devastating  loss,  1- 
13.  recovering  from  the  preceding 
loss  the  Cougars  lost  to  Tunstall  2- 
7. 

“The  team  played  well  the  sec¬ 
ond  part  of  the  season  .We  were  in 
all  our  games  and  we  came  together 
for  the  District  tournament,”  stat¬ 
ed  coach  , David  Clement  about  the 
second  half  of  the  seasonn. 

Luarel  Park  beat  the  Cougars  in 
a  close  game,  5-6,  in  the  first  game 
of  the  second  part  of  the  season. 


The  Cougars  came  back  defeating 
their  next  two  rivals  Fieldale-  Col- 
linsville,6-3,  and  Gretna,  14-11. 
They  lost  their  next  two  games  to 
Chatam,  4-14,  and 
to  Magna  Vista,  6- 
8,.  The  team 
played  Gretna  for 
the  second  time 
delivering  a  great 
blow  to  the  Hawks 
with  a  12-0  shut¬ 
out.  Playing  Mar¬ 
tinsville  next,  the 
Cougars  lost  their 
regular  season 
game  to  Tunstall 
by  a  score  of  0-3. 
The  team,  wanted 
to  make  it  to  re¬ 
gional  competition 
by  winning  the  Piedmont  District 
Tournament  just  missed  it  with  a 
loss  to  Tunstall  in  the  semifinals 
with  a  close  score  of  7-8.  They  got 
to  the  semifinals  by  upsetting  the 
Martinsville  Bulldogs  with  a  score 
of  4-2,  after  losing  to  them  during 
both  regular  season.  This  game  was 
the  highlight  of  the  season  for  the 
team.  Being  such  a  young  team  it 
was  obvious  that  the  Cougars 
would  be  a  dominating  team  in  the 
district  next  season. 

Coach  David  Clement  conclud¬ 
ed  by  saying,  “We  hope  to  com¬ 
pete  for  the  district  crown  this  up¬ 
coming  season.  We  will  have  12 
returning  lettermen  for  next  year. 
We  are  very  excited  and  optimistic 
about  our  next  season.” 


”  The  crack  of  the  bat.  The 
scream  of  a  line  drive,  the  roar 
of  a  home  run  .  Picnics  are  not 
Patrick  County’s  favorite  pas¬ 
time  Baseball  is.“-  Brad  Wood

Knowing  what's  expected 


“This  was  a  very  young 
team  that 
played  very 
well  at  times. 

We  had  nine 
eight  graders, 
five  ninth 
graders,  and 
only  one  tenth 
grader  this 
year,”  com¬ 
mented  J.V. 

Baseball  coach 
Bob  Burnette 
about  the  overall  season. 

The  goal  set  by  Coach 
Burnette  and  the  players  for 
this  years  were  to  finish  500 
or  better.  They  met  this 
goal  by  finishing  out  the 
season  with  a  record  of  7-7. 
The  Cougar  started  off  the 
season  with  a  big  win  over 
Fieldale-Collinsville  with  a 
score  of  15  to  4.  They  lost 
their  next  two  games  to 
Laurel  Park  and  Magna 
Vista.  However,  they  went 
on  a  three  game  winning 
streak  beating  Bassett, 
Martinsville,  and  Dan  Riv¬ 
er.  Their  next  opponent 
was  Tunstall  to  whom  they 
lost,  but  proved  to  be  a 
worthy  adversary  losing 
only  by  three  runs.  They 
picked  up  their  next  two 
wins  against  Laurel  Park 


and  Fieldale-Collinsville  af¬ 
ter  losing  to 
Chatam  and 
Magna  Vista 
they  defeated 
Bassett  10  to  6 
their  two  final 
games  were 
disappointing 
losses  only  los¬ 
ing  by  four 
runs  or  less. 

Jon  Fain’s 
win  against 
Martinsville  and  Joey  Gun¬ 
ter’s  home  run  against 
Fieldale-Collinsville  were 
two  of  the  thrills  the  team 
had  turning  the  season. 
Beating  Fieldale- 
Collinsville  twice  was  the 
highlight  of  the  J.V.’s  sea¬ 
son. 

“I  told  them  tradition¬ 
ally,  baseball  is  always  good 
at  Patrick  County  and  they 
were  supposed  to  win,  but 
they  had  to  prove  it.  They 
should  do  well  in  the  fu¬ 
ture,”  summed  up  Coach 
Burnette  about  their  sea¬ 
son. 


“Having  new  coaches  last  sea¬ 
son  helped  our  team’s  success 
greatly.  With  more  age  and  ex¬ 
perience  we  will  be  more  of  a 
threat  in  district  play.”  —  Todd

Victory  Over  Chatham 


Diamonds  are  our 
girls’  best 
friend.  The 
Lady  Cougar 
Softball  team 
began  prac¬ 
tice  this 
spring,  with 
their  goals  to 
improve 
levels  of  per¬ 
formance  and  to  be  more 
competitive.  Even  though 
the  Lady  Cougars  were 
young  they  still  managed 
to  progress  in  areas  of  un¬ 
derstanding  the  game  and 
being  aggressive  defen¬ 
sively  and  offensively. 

With  only  three  re¬ 
turning  starters  from  last 
year’s  team,  six  first  year 
players  were  able  to  start. 

Highlighting  the  sea¬ 
son  was  a  game  against 
Chatham.  The  ladies  had 
an  early  7-1  lead  going 
into  the  top  of  the  sev¬ 
enth  inning.  Coming 
back  in  the  bottom  of  the 
seventh  inning  with  seven 
hits  and  seven  runs  they 


won  the  game  with  a 
score  of  8-7. 
This  great 
win  gave  the 
girls  confi¬ 
dence  for  the 
rest  of  the 
season.  Beat¬ 
ing  Dan  Riv¬ 
er  12-9  and 
clobbering 
our  rival  Martinsville  22- 
7  was  also  other  great  as¬ 
pects  of  the  Lady  Cougars 
season. 

The  girls  ended  their 
season  playing  Laurel 
Park.  Losing  a  close  game 
with  a  score  of  7-8  the 
girls  record  for  the  season 
was  7-11.  Even  though 
the  Lady  Cougars  didn’t 
win  as  many  games  as 
anticipated  it  gave  the 
team  experience  to  im¬ 
prove  the  season  next 
year. 


“We  had  a  young  team  this  sea¬ 
son.  Next  year  with  a  little  age 
and  experience  with  us,  we 
should  do  much  better.”  -

first  time  track  members  Mandy 
Trent,  Dawn  Trent,  and  Brian 
Williams  were 
some  of  the  new 
members  of  the 
track  team.  There 
were  only  seven 
members  on  the 
boys,  team  this 
year  including  four 
freshmen,  two 
sophomores,  and 
one  junior.  The 
girls’  team  was 
larger  with  fifteen 
members  includ¬ 
ing  five  freshmen, 
six  sophomores, 
two  juniors,  and  two  seniors. 

Track  coach  Nelson  McConnel 
assigned  events  early  this  season  to 
help  athletes  better  train  them¬ 
selves  physically  and  mentally.  The 
only  goal  that  the  members  had 
was  to  perform  to  the  best  of  their 
ability.  The  girls’  team  did  just 
that  placing  second  in  the  District

well  as  expected  the  team  was  still 
pleased  that  they  got  to  compete  at 
the  state  level.  “I  wish  younger

“As  a  first  year  coach  of  coach  for 

tennis  it  was  _ _ 

necessary  for 
me  to  realize 
and  refocus  the 
game  of  tennis. 

In  studying  up 
on  the  skills,

niques,  and 

“Being  a  first  year  player  I

Oped  a  new  experience  worth  having.” 

—  Ryan  Vaughan 


appreciation 
for  the  game  of  tennis,” 
commented  Coach  Mary 
Alice  Hayes,  about  her  pre¬ 
mier  season. 

The  Cougars  started  off 
their  season  with  two 
straight  losses  against  Mar¬ 
tinsville  and  Fiedale- 
Collinsville.  Their  next 
match  came  down  to  the 
final  doubles  speed  where 
Jon  Hutchens  and  Josh 
Hopkins  overcome  their 
opponents  to  bring  home 
the  first  win  for  the  season. 
They  lost  to  Magna  Vista  to 
end  the  first  half  of  their 
season.  Patrick  County  lost 
their  next  two  matches  to 
Martinsville  and  Fieldale- 
Collinsville  before  they 
ended  their  regular  season 
by  defeating  Bassett  and 
Magna  Vista.  “The 
highlight  of  the  season  as  a 


my  team  was  see¬ 
ing  these  young 
athletes  believing 
in  themselves, 
striving  to  reach 
goals  set,  and  of 
course  the  5-4 
triumph  over 
Magna  Vista  to 
end  the  season,” 
stated  Coach 
Hayes. 

The  Cougars 
entered  the  Dis¬ 
trict  Tournament  with  a 
record  of  3-5  before  being 
knocked  out  after  the  first 
round  by  Bassett.  They 
ended  their  season  with  a 
record  of  3-6. 

“We  realized  after  our 
upset  over  Magna  Vista  just 
how  far  we  had  to  come 
and  I  truly  believe  we  now 
have  a  hunger  for  compet¬ 
itive  tennis  action.  As  we 
prepare  for  the  ’95  season 
we  are  very  optimistic  and 
confident  in  our  contribu¬ 
tion  to  the  Patrick  County 
Tennis  Program.  This  team 
displayed  and  represented 
Patrick  County  to  the 
highest  standard  in  charac¬ 
ter  and  sportsmanship,”

Alice  Hayes  about  the  ten¬ 
nis  team’s  season.

“With  only  one  season,  the  team

gained  valuable 
experience  for 
next  season,” 
commented 
coach  Gerald 
Culler. 

Without 
making  any 
changes  in  their 
practices  this 
year,  the  team 
knew  what  the 
team  had  to  do 
to  have  a  win¬ 
ning  season. 

The  Cougars 
started  off  the  season  with  the  de¬ 
feat  of  Magna  Vista  by  a  score  of 
178-191.  With  one  win  already 
under  their  belts,  this  gave  them 
the  feeling  that  it  was  going  to  be  a 
good  season.  The  Cougars  won 
their  next  two  matches  defeating 
Gretna  168-164  and  and  Dan  Riv¬ 
er  158-165. 

The  Cougars  traveled  to  Floyd 
for  their  next  match  and  lost  by 
four  strokes  with  a  score  of  176- 
172.  Their  next  two  matches  were 
losses  to  Chatam  173-155  and 
Bassett  189-171.  The  Cougars  got 
back  on  track  by  disposing  of  Lau¬ 
rel  Park,  147-186.  This  was  their 
lowest  score  of  the  season.  Their 


next  opponent  was  Fieldale- 
Collinsville  where  they 
lost  by  a  score  of  150- 
143.  The  Cougars’ 
next  match  was  a  tri¬ 
match  in  which  they 
defeated  both  of  their 
opponents,  Radford 
167-202  and  Floyd 
167-180.  Their  next 
match  was  against 
Tunstall  with  a  score 
of  172-145  where 
they  lost.  The  Cougars 
last  match  was  against 
district  rival  Martins¬ 
ville,  where  the  high¬ 
light  of  the  season  oc¬ 
curred.  There  the  Cougars  defeated 
Martinsville  by  a  one  stroke  margin 
153-154  to  close  out  the  regular 
season.  The  Cougars  competed  in 
the  district  tournament  and  shot  a 
350  placing  sixth  place  to  end  their 
season.  Matt  Harnsburger  tied  for 
first  with  a  score  of  79  and  qual¬ 
ified  to  compete  in  the  regional 
competition. 

‘‘The  whole  team  improved 
greatly  with  Shawn  Crouse,  Brian 
Williams,  and  Justin  Plasters  im¬ 
proving  their  play  tremendously. 
They  should  contribute  much  to 
the  team  next  year,  summed  up 
coach  Culler.

“The  team  played  well  together. 
The  more  they  worked,  the  better 
they  got.  This 
team  had  a  togeth¬ 
erness  that  is  nec¬ 
essary  to  win,” 
stated  J.V.  coach 
Brian  Turman. 

The  coaches  in¬ 
stalled  several 
changes  in  their 
practices  such  as 
the  team  dressed 
out  in  full  equip¬ 
ment  and  went  live 
situation  in  every 
practice  which 
helped  in  learning 
how  to  hit  their 
opponents  with  more  force.  The 
goals  that  the  team  and  the  coach¬ 
ing  staff  set  were  to  finish  with  a 
winning  season.  The  Cougars  just 
missed  their  goal  finishing  out  the 
season  with  an  even  record  at  4-4- 
1. 

The  Cougars  started  out  the  sea¬ 
son  with  a  victory  by  defeating 
Carroll  County,  6-0.  Next  the  Cou¬ 
gars  played  district  rival  Martins¬ 
ville  and  lost  by  a  score  of  6-48. 
They  lost  their  next  two  match-ups 
against  Tunstall,  6-14,  and 
Fieldale-Collinsville,  18-32.  The 
Cougars  snapped  their  losing  streak 
by  overcoming  Dan  River  to  take

the  win,  13-6.  Their  next  victim 
was  Gretna,  demolishing  them 
with  a  score  of  37- 
0.  The  next  oppo¬ 
nent  of  the  Cou¬ 
gars  was  Bassett 
who  gave  the  Cou¬ 
gars  a  tough  time 
causing  a  tie  at  12 
all.  The  Cougars 
then  showed  Lau¬ 
rel  Park  how  it  was 
done  by  defeating 
them,  26-8.  They 
then  faced  Chat¬ 
ham  where  they 
fell  short,  26-34. 
The  last  game  for 
the  Cougars  was 
against  Magna  Vista  which  was 
cancelled  and  not  rescheduled  due 
to  the  rain. 

The  team  progressed  throughout 
the  season  by  never  giving  up  in 
any  situation. ‘ ‘This  is  what 
brought  them  together  as  a  team,” 
commented  Turman. 

The  highlight  of  the  season  for  the 
team  was  beating  Dan  River  at 
Dan  River  to  start  their  winning 
streak. 

Coach  Turman  summed  up  by 
saying,  ‘‘This  team  really  im¬ 
pressed  me  with  the  attitudes  they 
displayed  on  and  off  the  field.”

Winning  Smiles.  Congratulations  to  the 
varsity  football  team  on  a  record  setting 
season.  The  Cougars  made  history  on  Oc¬ 
tober  28  against  Laurel  park. 

Making  History 


“The  season  was  a  major  ac¬ 
complishment.  It 
provided  the 
young  men  on  the 
team  to  play 
against  a  legiti¬ 
mate  playoff 
team,”  summed 
up  Coach  Addison 
Kendrick  about 
the  record- 
breaking  varsity 
football  season. 

There  were  sev¬ 
eral  changes  made 
from  last  season. 

The  players  ac¬ 
quired  a  new  head  coach.  The  Cou¬ 
gars’  practices  were  “much  more 
physical,”  and  conditioning  was 
“much  more  intense,”  stated  Ken¬ 
drick.  The  goal  for  the  team  and 
coaching  staff  was  to  finish  first  in 
the  Piedmont  District.  Only  miss¬ 
ing  their  goal  by  a  small  margin, 
the  Cougars  finished  second. 

“The  coaches  and  players  will 
have  to  work  harder  and  smarter 
next  year  to  become  become  num¬ 
ber  one.”  commented  Coach  Ken¬ 
drick. 

The  Cougars’  first  game  was 
against  Carroll  County  opening  up 
with  a  big  win.  The  next  game  was 
against  Martinsville  where  the 
Cougars  lost  14-27,  but  made  an 
impression  on  everyone  in  the  dis¬ 
trict.  Their  next  two  games  were 
against  Tunstall,  defeating  them 
19-9,  and  Fieldale-Collinsville, 
with  a  20-14  victory. 

The  teams  next  match-up  was 
against  district  champion  Dan  Riv¬ 
er  where  the  Cougars  lost  with  a 
score  of  21-36.  The  next  game  was 


the  Patrick  County  High  school 
Homecoming 
when  they  de¬ 
stroyed  the  Gretna 
Hawks  by  a  score 
of  49-0.  The  Cou¬ 
gars  won  their  last 
four  games  in  the 
district  starting 
with  the  defeat  of 
Bassett  43-16, 
then  shutting  out 
Laurel  Park  29-0. 
Chatam  was  their 
next  adversary, 
winning  by  a  score 
of  33-7.  The  final 
district  opponent  was  Magna  Vista 
and  the  Cougars  ended  the  regular 
season  with  a  victory,  45-14.  For 
the  first  time  in  Patrick  County 
High  School  history  the  cougars 
football  team  had  a  winning  season 
with  an  8-2  record,  and  their  first 
playoff  berth.  A  slow  start  in  the 
first  half  of  the  playoff  game 
against  Salem  hurt  the  Cougars. 
Even  though  they  lost  6-28  the 
cougars  left  with  their  heads  up. 

The  qualities  that  made  this 
team  different  from  those  in  the 
past  were  that  they  had  “good 
overall  team  leadership  and  char¬ 
acter,”  stated  Coach  Kendrick.  The 
highlights  of  the  season  were  mak¬ 
ing  the  playoffs  for  the  first  time, 
and  leading  the  district  in  total 
offense  and  second  in  least  points 
allowed  on  defense. 

Coach  Kendrick  concluded 
“They  (the  team)  began  to  un¬ 
derstand  what  kind  of  character 
and  pride  it  takes  to  have  a  cham¬ 
pionship  football  team.” 


I  had  an  excellent  senior  season. 
It  was  great  being  part  of  a  his¬ 
tory  breaking  team.  —  Matt

Building 

Defense 


“This  was  a  good  season  for 
us,  we  had  some  big  wins  over 
strong  teams, 
and  were  com- 
p  e  t  i  t  i  v  e 
throughout  the 
season.  Our  im¬ 
provement  was 
due  to  a  lot  of 
hard  work  on 
the  part  of  our 
very  dedicated 
players,”  com¬ 
mented  Coach 
Wendell  Terry. 

Changes  in 
the  team’s  prac¬ 
tices  were  made 
from  last  sea¬ 
son.  They  did  more  talking  and 
mental  preparation.  The  Cou¬ 
gars  worked  harder  at  main¬ 
taining  a  positive  attitude  and 
they  developed  confidence  in 
their  abilities. 

Several  individuals  as  well  as 
the  team  demonstrated  much 
improvement  this  season.  We 
had  an  improved  record  and 
were  much  more  competitive 
then  in  previous  seasons,”  stat¬ 
ed  Coach  Terry. 

This  team  was  different  be¬ 
cause  it  was  a  closely  united  and 
very  competitive  team.  The 
Lady  Cougars  lost  their  first 
three  games  against  Floyd 
County,  50-64;  Blacksburg,  41- 
48,  and  Lord  Botetout,  57-71. 
Picking  up  after  their  losses,  the 
Lady  Cougars  defeated  Fieldale- 
Collinsville,  69-66,  and  Tun- 
stall,  50-44.  Nearly  winning 
their  next  match-up  against 
Bassett  they  lost  only  by  one 
point,  62-63.  The  Lady  Cou¬ 
gars  next  opponent  was  Dan 
River,  where  they  demolished 


the  Wildcats  with  a  score  of  70- 
24.  Losing  the  next  game  to 
Chatham,  43- 
51,  the  Lady 
Cougars 
bounced  back 
with  two  big 
wins  over  Gret¬ 
na,  61-42,  and 
Magna  Vista, 
60-52.  The 
Lady  Cougars 
lost  their  next 
three  games  to 
Martinsville, 
49-74,  Laurel 
Park,  70-73, 
and  Fieldale- 
Collinsville,  58- 
61.  Their  next  opponent  was 
Tunstall  and  they  won  72-45, 
but  lost  to  Bassett,  37-53.  The 
Lady  Cougars  went  on  a  four- 
game  winning  streak  against 
Dan  River,  82-48,  Chatham, 
61-43,  Gretna,  56-49,  and 
Magna  Vista,  63-50.  Their 
streak  was  abrupdy  stopped  by 
Martinsville  with  a  37-64  loss. 
The  Lady  Cougars  lost  to  Laurel 
Park  by  a  one  point  margin,  63- 
64,  to  end  the  regular  season. 
Their  first  game  in  the  district 
tournament  was  against  Magna 
Vista  with  a  54-48  victory 
which  advanced  them  to  the 
second  round  where  they  lost  to 
Martinsville,  52-75  to  end  the 
season. 

Coach  Terry  summed  up  the 
season  by  saying,  “We  had  a 
very  young  team  this  year.  We 
will  miss  our  only  senior,  Chris¬ 
ty  Carlson,  but  we  look  forward 
to  being  even  better  in  the  fu¬ 
ture.  We  are  definitely  a  pro¬ 
gram  on  the  rise.” 


I’m  going  to  miss  the  friend¬ 
ships,  and  the  excitment  of  the 
game.  I  have  thoroughly  en¬ 
joyed  playing  for  the  Lady  Cou¬ 
gar  team.

“The  girls  had  a  very  successful  Cougars  lost  by  a  score  of  39- 


season.  We  were  a 
young  team -one  of  the 
youngest  in  the  dis¬ 
trict  and  our  8-10  rec¬ 
ord  is  a  testament  to 
our  competitiveness 
within  the  district,” 
commented  J.V.  girls 
basketball  coach 
Joanne  Amos. 

Some  changes 
made  in  the  practices 
for  the  Cougars  were 
they  installed  a  weight 
lifting  program  dur¬ 
ing  the  spring  and 
summer  that  contin¬ 
ued  throughout  the  season.  The  goals 
set  by  the  team  and  the  coaches  were 
“to  become  a  team,”  stated  Amos. 

The  girls  first  two  games  were  out 
of  district  match  ups  where  they  lost 
them  both  to  Blacksburg,  18-42,  and 
Lord  Botetout,  36-55.  Fieldale- 
Collinsville  was  the  Lady  Cougars’  first 
district  opponent  where  they  lost  by  a 
narrow  margin,  42-45.  The  Cougars 
lost  their  next  two  games  to  Tunstall, 
37-5 6,  and  Bassett,  53-59.  They  went 
on  a  three-game  winning  streak  start¬ 
ing  off  by  defeating  Dan  River,  63- 
26,  then  Chatham  with  an  overtime 
victory,  37-34,  and  they  shut  down 
Gretna  with  a  score  of  47-21.  Their 
winning  streak  was  ended  shortly  with 
a  one-point  loss  to  Magna  Vista,  57- 
58.  Their  next  adversary  was  Mar¬ 
tinsville  where  the  Cougars  lost  by  a 
score  of  36-57.  They  ended  the  first 
half  of  the  season  by  regrouping  and 
winning  their  next  game  defeating 
Laurel  Park  47-40.

71.  However 
they  pulled  to¬ 
gether  to  win 
their  next  game 
taking  the  vic¬ 
tory  over  Tun¬ 
stall  65-50.  The 
Cougars  lost 
their  next  game 
to  Bassett  by  a 
score  of  39-50, 
but  won  the 
next  game 
against  Dan 
River  48-24. 
Their  next  op¬ 
ponent  was 
Chatam  where  they  took  the 
victory  by  a  score  of  48-33. 
Gretna  was  their  next  opponent 
where  the  Lady  Cougars  lost  by 
a  narrow  margin,  43-48.  The 
Cougars  lost  their  next  game  to 
Magna  Vista,  43-55,  followed 
by  Martinsville  losing  by  a  score 
of  33-65.  They  ended  the  sea¬ 
son  with  a  win  over  Laurel  Park, 
79-73. 

The  highlight  of  the  season 
for  the  J.V.  Lady  Cougars  was 
the  last  game  of  the  season 
where  they  came  back  from  a 
12  point  deficit  to  win  in  over¬ 
time  against  Laurel  Park  79-73. 

Coach  Amos  said,  ‘‘The 
whole  team  improved  through¬ 
out  the  season  in  their  indi¬ 
vidual  and  team  play.  This 
team  was  different  from  those 
in  the  past  by  having  seven  out 
of  13  of  the  players  being  eighth 
graders.”

levels 


“This  year  the  eigth  grade 
basketball  team  played  nine 
games.  The  Auburn  game  was 
missed  due  to 
weather  condi¬ 
tions.  Both 
Tunstall  and 
Chatham  had 
teams  that  were 
made  up  of 
both  of  eigth 
and  ninth  grad¬ 
ers,  which  gave 
this  team  more 
experience 
against  older 
and  bigger  people,”  comment¬ 
ed  eigth  grade  Coach  Grandy 
Biggs. 

The  goals  of  the  eigth  grade 
team  was  to  prepare  the  athletes 
to  play  basketball  on  the  Junior 
Varsity  level  next  year.  Other 
goals  were  to  be  able  to  control 
the  tempo  of  the  game.  The 
eigth  grade  team  finished  their 
season  with  a  3-6  record. 

The  Cougars  started  out  their 
season  against  Martinsville 
where  they  were  beaten  by  a 
score  of  34-50.  They  then  went 
on  to  compete  with  Tunstall 
where  they  lost,  28-48.  The 
Cougars  attained  their  first 
game  against  Auburn  by  a  score 
of  51-37.  They  then  played 
Tunstall  again  where  they  lost 
again,  26-42.  Floyd  County  was 
the  Cougars  next  opponent 
where  they  defeated  them  by  a 
ten  point  margin,  47-37.  Chat¬ 
ham  just  edged  out  the  Cougars 
by  winning,  42-47.  The  Cou¬ 
gars  then  played  Martinsville 
again  where  they  were  beaten  by 
a  score  of  26-43.  Their  next 
match  up  was  against  Floyd 
County  where  they  got  their 
third  and  final  win,  44-33.  The 
last  game  for  the  Cougars  was 
against  Chatam  where  they  just 
lost  by  a  score  of  42-49. 

J.V.  head  coach  Dean 
Gillbert  stated,  “This  was  a  real 
learning  experience.  We  played 
well  at  times  and  bad  at  times”. 

The  goals  set  by  the  team  and 


coaches  were  to  go  .500  in  the 
district.  The  Cougars  started 
out  their  season  against  Gretna 
where  they  lost, 
53-63;  then 
turned  around 
to  defeat  Tun¬ 
stall,  51-48. 
Laurel  Park  de¬ 
feated  the  Cou¬ 
gars  by  a  score 
of  37-44.  The 
Cougars  lost 
two  more 
straigt  against 
Magna  Vista, 
33-58,  and  Fieldale  Collinsville, 
32-36,  before  defeating  Mar¬ 
tinsville,  52-49,  and  Dan  River, 
53-45.  Chatham  then  broke  the 
Cougars  streak  by  winning  with 
a  score  of  38-38.  The  Cougars 
then  gave  Bassett  a  run  for  their 
money  going  into  overtime  but 
losing  finally 'by  a  score  of  52- 
53.  The  Cougars  were  then 
edged  out  for  the  second

57.  Their  next  opponent  was 
Tunstall  where  they  were  de¬

they  faced  Carroll  County  for 
their  first  meeting  where  re-

15-48,  and  Laurel  Park,  53-67. 
The  Cougars  finished  the  season 
at  7-13,  and  their  highlight  of 
the  season  was  beating  the  Mar¬ 
tinsville  Bulldogs. 

Coach  Gilbert  summed  up 
by  saying,  “We  were  very  com¬ 
petitive.  The  players  hopefully 
learned  what  it  takes  to  play  in 
this  district.  There  are  no  easy 
games  and  you  have  to  be  ready 
to  play  every  night.”

“We  had  a  season  of  peaks

hard  and  with  great  effort  in  our 
last  five  games 
of  the  season,” 
commented 
varsity  basket¬ 
ball  coach  Bob 
Burnette. 

The  team’s

Coach  Burnette  ended  by 
saying,  “We  were  very  com¬ 
petitive  this  year,  but  we  have 
to  learn  how  to  win.  We  must 
learn  to  play  well  in  the  final 
quarter;  if  we  do  this,  then  we 
will  be  a  threat  in  the  future.”

“Throughout  the  season  the

mented,  Volley-

an. 

The  team’s 
conditiong  was 
more  intense 
and  their  de¬ 
fense  was 
changed  from 
last  year.  “This 
gave  more  ver- 
sitatlity  in  at¬ 
tacks  and  defense,”  said  Coach 
Buchanan.  Captians  of  this 
years  team  were  to  do  their  best 
and  to  attack  more  and  show 
more  consistency. 

Martinville  was  the  Cougars

All-District  players, Jackie  Set-

Coach  Buchanan  summed  up 
by  saying,  “Ten  of  twelve  play¬ 
ers  will  return  to  play  on  next

vide  a  season  of  climactic  mo¬

Memorable  Seaseon 


“This  year  we  won  first  place 
during  the  regular  season  and  won 
the  Piedmont  Dis¬ 
trict  Tournament 
as  well.  Last  year 
we  tied  with  Mar¬ 
tinsville  for  first 
place  during  the 
regular  season  and 
won  the  district 
tournament,  but 
this  year  for  the 
first  time  in  14 
years  Martinsville 
did  not  take  the 
regular  season 
championship,  ’  ’ 
stated  Wrestling 
Coach  Mark  Gam¬ 
mons. 

The  Cougar  Wrestling  team 
moved  their  practices  from  the 
classrooms  to  the  new  wrestling 
room  in  the  newly  constructed 
gym.  “This  helped  our  ’on  feet’ 
skills  tremendously,”  commented 
Gammons.  The  team’s  goals  for 
this  season  were  to  take  the  district 
championship  and  for  each  indi¬ 
vidual  to  win  the  district  title  at 
each  of  their  weight  classes. 

The  first  match  for  the  team  was 
against  Mount  Airy  where  they 
took  the  easy  win  by  a  score  of  62- 
12.  Their  first  Piedmont  District 
opponent  of  the  season  was 
Chatam  where  they  picked  up  their 
second  straight  victory,  63-12. 
Next  the  Cougars  took  on  Tunstall 
where  they  continued  their  win¬ 
ning  streak  with  a  50-21  win. 

Over  the  Christmas  holiday  the 
Cougars  competed  in  two  tourna¬ 
ments.  The  first  of  them  was  the 
Christiansburg  Christmas  Tourna¬ 
ment  where  they  finished  second 


out  of  16  teams.  They  then  went 
on  to  compete  in  the  Carroll  Coun¬ 
ty  Christmas  Tour¬ 
nament  where  they 
again  finished  sec¬ 
ond  out  of  eight 
teams. 

After  the  break 
the  team  continued 
their  winning 
streak  by  narrowly 
defeating  Magna 
Vista,  33-30.  The 
Cougars  won  the 
rest  of  their  regular 
season  matches  fin¬ 
ishing  with  a  rec¬ 
ord  of  8-0  along 
with  winning  the 
Piedmont  District 
Tournament  for  the  1994-95  sea¬ 
son. 

Throughout  the  year  the  youn¬ 
ger  guys  improved  with  each 
match,  and  senior  standout  Andy 
Stanley  remained  undefeated  and 
then  won  the  district  title  in  the 
171  pound  weight  where  he  then 
went  on  to  compete  in  the  regional 
tournament.  The  highlight  of  the 
season  for  the  Cougars  was  defeat¬ 
ing  district  rival  Martinsville  and 
taking  the  regular  season  cham¬ 
pionship  where  they  then  went  on 
to  win  the  district  tournament  as 
well. 

Coach  Gammons  final  com¬ 
ments  were,  “This  year  we  are 
proud  of  our  J.V.  team.  This  was 
the  first  J.V.  team  ever  and  they 
won  their  first  match,  69-15, 
against  Chatam.  Our  younger 
wresders  will  improve  through  ex¬ 
perience  gained  at  the  J.V.  level 
which  will  prove  valuable  in  the 
future.” 


“This  was  my  first  year  of  wres¬ 
tling,  and  I  learned  that  you 
must  have  self-confidence  to 
succeed.  If  you  lose,  you  are  the 
only  one  that  can  be  blamed.”

Reaching  Goals 


“The  boys  improved  in  the  dis¬ 
trict  finishing  third  this  season 
while  the  girls  in  their  first  year 
were  very  strong  and  competitive,’’ 
stated  Coach  Nel¬ 
son  McConnell 
about  the  cross 
country  season. 

The  Cougars 
made  several 
changes  from  last 
season  by  increas¬ 
ing  the  mileage 
that  they  ran  in 
practice  and  by  ad¬ 
ding  a  girls  team  to 
the  program.  The 
goal  set  by  the 
team  was  to  make 
it  to  district.  Goals 
were  also  set  individually.  All  of 
the  girls  who  entered  made  the  All- 
District  Team. 

The  first  meet  of  the  season  for 
the  cross  country  team  was  their 
only  home  meet  where  they  com¬ 
peted  against  Magna  Vista, 
Fieldale-Collinsville,  and  Bassett. 
The  Cougars  took  first  place  with  a 
score  of  32  just  beating  Bassett 
with  a  score  of  36.  The  next  meet 
was  at  Laurel  Park  where  they  took 
second  place  falling  to  Bassett,  but 
defeating  Dan  River  and  Laurel 
Park.  The  Cougars  traveled  to 
Magna  Vista  where  they  finished 
first  over  Dan  River,  Laurel  Park, 
and  Magna  Vista.  They  went  to 
Gretna  for  their  following  meet 
where  they  placed  second  after 
Gretna,  but  defeated  Bassett  and 
Laurel  Park. 

The  girls’  first  meet  was  at  Gret¬ 
na  where  they  defeated  them  easily 
for  their  first  victory.  Their  fol¬ 


lowing  meet  was  at  Laurel  Park 
where  they  again  finished  first  de¬ 
feating  all  three  of  the  opposing 
teams.  The  last  meet  of  the  regular 
season  was  cancel¬ 
led  due  to  rain. 

At  the  district 
meet  at  Gretna  the 
boys  took  third 
place.  Those 
picked  for  the  All- 
District  team  were 
Aaron  Whitwell, 
first,  and  Matthew 
Kirkpatrick,  tenth. 
The  girls  picked 
for  the  team  were 
Jackie  Setliff, 
fourth,  Becky 
Leeper,  ninth, 
Wendy  Massey,  tenth,  and  Steph¬ 
anie  Cox,  fourteenth.  The  regional 
meet  was  at  William  Campbell 
High  School  where  Aaron 
Whitwell  finished  second  and 
Jackie  Setliff  finished  eleventh  and 
at  the  state  meet  Aaron  finished 
23,  and  Jackie  finished  70. 

Progress  made  by  individual 
runners  was  tremendous.  Aaron 
did  a  great  amount  of  individual 
work  for  the  team  along  with  first¬ 
time  runner  Jackie  Setliff.  This 
team  was  different  from  those  in 
the  past  by  having  a  variety  of 
young  an  old  runners.  The  high¬ 
light  of  the  season  was  when  the 
girls  and  boys  defeated  eventual 
district  champions. 

Coach  McConnell  summed  up 
by  saying,  “This  was  a  great  start 
and  I  hope  the  girls  continue  with 
their  success.  Sports  are  a  great  part 
of  the  learning  process.” 


“Cross  Country  is  a  great  way  to 
get  in  shape  for  other  sports. 
Cross  country  is  a  more  physical 
running  sport  because  of  the 
rough  terrain.”  —  Curt  Rorrer

Cougar  Loyalty 


Behind  every  team  stands  and  en¬ 
thusiastic  group  of  cheerleaders,  pep¬ 
ping  up  crowds  and  cheering  them  to 
victories.  Cheerleaders  worked  to  pre¬ 
pare  athletes,  students  and  themselves 
for  upcoming  games. 

Every  cheerleader  had  her  own  spirit 
pal  and  athlete  that  she  made  spirit 
bags  for.  “Making  spirit  bags  was  fun. 
The  players  seemed  to  enjoy  getting 
them  at  each  home  game,”  comment¬ 
ed  Giselle  Batchellor. 

The  bag  was  decorated  with  spirited 
messages  in  green  and  gold  colors. 
Stuffed  to  the  brim  with  candy,  knick 
knacks,  and  anything  else  that  might 
suprise  the  athletes.  “I  enjoyed  learning 
different  cheers  this  year.  Our  squad 
was  exceptionally  good  at  picking 


things  up,”  said  Anna  Clark. 

During  practices  banners,  posters, 
and  signs  were  made  to  decorate  the 
schools  walls.  Dances  and  cheers  were 
taught  which  often  proved  to  be  harder 
than  they  looked.  Cheerleaders  often 
made  appearances  on  morning  an¬ 
nouncements  reminding  students  of 
upcoming  games. 

Homework  was  one  problem  cheer¬ 
leaders  faced  but  soon  learned  to  deal 
with  their  schedules.  Every  spare  mo¬ 
ment  was  used,  even  riding  the  bus  to 
the  away  games  became  a  study  hall. 

Cheerleaders  worked  to  give  their 
teams  everything.  Even  though  fans 
sometimes  became  quiet,  cheerleaders 
were  always  screaming  for  victory.

Could  you  repeat  the  question?  Harris  Pack  takes  time 
to  ask  a  question  about  the  geography  lesson  that  Mrs. 
Melinda  Comer  is  teaching.  Students  always  tried  to  un¬ 
derstand  every  concept  taught  by  the  teacher  so  they  could 
get  more  out  of  the  lesson. 

Here  comes  the  Cavalry.  Mr.  Douglas  Dunlap,  history 
teacher,  uses  props  and  the  occasional  costume  to  get  stu¬ 
dents  involved  in  the  lesson  being  taught.  On  Halloween,  he

WHAT’S  THAT  CRAZY  LITTLE 
BUTTON  FOR?  Senior  Corey  Easter  en¬ 
tertains  himself  with  his  scientific  calculator 
during  Mrs.  Mary  Jane  Taylor's  math  anal¬ 
ysis  class.  Calculators  were  necessities  in 
most  math  classes.  Without  them,  students 
would  have  taken  up  valuable  class  time  in 
which  they  could  have  been  learning  new 
mathematical  skills. 


SO. .  .WHEN  DO  WE  START  CLASS? 

Eighth-grader  J  ennifer  J  essup  eagerly  awaits 
the  start  of  her  algebra  one  class.  Students 
often  took  time  out  before  class  to  discuss 


school  and  current  events  or  to  catch  up  on 
some  gossip.  What  ever  the  case  may  have 
been,  the  spare  moments  of  the  day  were 
highly  regarded  by  everyone.  Even  though 


the  spare  time  was  often  limited,  it  served  as 
a  great  ice-breaker  for  all  students.

MATH 


“Now  what  page  was  our  trig 
homework  on?”  This  was  one  of 
i  the  many  questions  ringing 
throughout  the  school  halls  at  the 
end  of  the  day.  Students  quickly 
learned  that  in  order  to  succeed  at 
their  chosen  math  courses,  hard 
work  and  effort  were  necessary 
evils.  Ben  Williams,  a  Senior,  com¬ 
mented  on  the  difficulty  of  math 
|  courses.  “If  you  have  the  right 
!  teacher,  math  can  be  fun,  but  if 
you  are  swamped  with  a  lot  of 
;  work,  it’s  really  hard  to  learn.”  Of 
|  course,  with  the  encouragement 
i  and  brilliant  instruction  of  their 
i  teachers,  students  found  that  eval- 
1  uating  those  difficult  linear  equa¬ 
tions  weren’t  quite  as  hard  as  they 
|  thought. 

Good  attitudes  were  also  a  major 
1  asset  in  the  classroom.  Students  un¬ 
derstood  that  in  order  to  gain  a 
i  :  better  knowledge  of  the  new  ma- 
i  terial,  they  must  do  homework 
(and  plenty  of  it,  too!).  In  addition 
1  to  homework,  students  had  to  be 
able  to  get  along  with  their  teach¬ 
ers.  Differing  opinions  and  a  some- 
'  times  seemingly  huge  age  gap 
(which  was  usually  very  small  in 
i  reality  considering  the  fact  that 
many  teachers  are  in  their  twenties) 
made  the  cooperation  factor  some¬ 
what  difficult. 

Even  though  students  tried  des¬ 

I

lege  with  a  good  foundation  of 
trigonometric  and  algebraic  prin¬ 
ciples.  Ryan  Pilson  had  this  to  say 
about  math  analysis,  “I  really  enjoy 
the  way  that  Mrs.Taylor  explains 
math  analysis.” 

Mrs  .Jane  Akers  was  always  there 
to  give  a  helping  hand  in  her  pre¬ 
algebra  classes;  while  Mrs. Phyllis 
Kodenski  was  all  smiles  for  her 
math  and  algebra  classes. 

These  teachers’  innovative  and 
refreshing  approaches  in  math 
made  students  eager  to  learn  a  sub¬ 
ject  that  is  often  viewed  as  “scary” 
to  many  students.  Overcoming 
mathematical  fears  and  conquering 
new  tasks  were  the  main  focus  in 
math  classes.  Preparing  for  the  fu¬ 
ture  (which  meant  college  or  jobs 
for  many  students)  and  analyzing 
how  mathematics  fits  into  our 
world  on  an  overall  scale  also 
played  important  roles. 


perately  to  get  all  of  their  home¬ 
work  done  at  home ,  many  could  be 
seen  in  the  mornings  doing  some 
last  minute  cramming  for  the  vo¬ 
cabulary  quiz  in  Ms. Patricia  Fain’s 
class.  Ms. Patricia  Fain’s  challeng¬ 
ing  but  fair  policy  of  teaching  en¬ 
abled  her  geometry  and  trigonom¬ 
etry  classes  to  gain  a  thorough 
understanding  of  the  materials  cov¬ 
ered  throughout  the  year. 

Hand  cramps  were 
common  in  the  alge¬ 
bra  and  trig  classes 
taught  by 
Mr.  Chip  Graves 
where  students 
were  often  seen 
jotting  down 
notes  for  the 
upcoming  quiz. 

Mr. Mark  Gam¬ 
mons  made  ge¬ 
ometry  fun  and 
creative  by  taking 
field  trips  around 
the  school.  Dur¬ 
ing  these  excur¬ 
sions,  students 
used  basic  ge¬ 
ometry  prin¬ 
ciples  and 


applied  them  in  solving  problems. 

Mrs. Evelyn  Hazlewood  and 
Ms  .Joanne  Amos  kept  classes  lively 
and  interesting  with  their  unique 
personalities.  In  fact,  Dawn 
Woodall  found  that  Ms.  Amos  “is  a 
good  teacher,  and  she  explains 
math  so  that  I  can  understand  it.” 
Mrs. Mary  Jane  Taylor,  teacher  of 
calculus  and  math  analysis,  guided 
her  students  towards  col¬

Culture  is  the  key.  What  makes 
social  studies  courses  so  appealing 
to  students?  From  participating  in 
foreign-exchange  programs  to  join¬ 
ing  the  new  German  club,  students 
had  a  lot  of  chances  to  become 
more  aware  of  the  culture  in  coun¬ 
tries  around  them  in  a  variety  of 
ways.  From  videos  and  lectures  to 
hands  on  experience,  social  studies 
courses  focused  on  preparing  stu¬ 
dents  for  the  “outside  world”. 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  pro¬ 
found  experiences  for  students 
was  the  arrival  of  the  Rus¬ 
sian-exchange  students. 

With  their  shy  smiles 
and  polite  attitudes,  the 
Russians  continually 
shared  their  beliefs 
and  customs  with 
the  students 
through  interviews 
and  just  plain  old 
fun!  It  was  a  great 
experience  for 
P.C.H.  to  host 
people  from 
such  diverse 
backgrounds. 

By  learning 
about  the  cul¬ 
ture  of  the 
Russians, 
students  got 
a  good  taste 
of  what 
goes  on  in 
the  world 


ment  program  that  enabled  stu¬ 
dents  to  take  college  courses  while 
in  high  school,  some  teachers  had 
to  attend  several  workshops  over 
the  summer  vacation  in  order  to 
“beef’  up  their  teaching  skills.  An¬ 
other  teacher  who  had  to  attend 
numerous  workshops  was 
Mr.Arnie  Kloock.  Being  a  teacher 
of  chemistry,  Mr.  Kloock  was  very 
concerned  with  making  sure  that 
his  students  fully  understood  each 
chemistry  concept.  Because  of  this 
fact,  he  tried  in  every  way  possible 
to  prepare  his  students  for  the  de¬ 
manding  courses  of  college  chem¬ 
istry.  Because  the  work  was  more 
difficult  for  students,  it  also  put 
some  pressure  on  the  teachers.  Col¬ 
lege  level  classes  proved  to  be  a 
demanding  challenge  for  all. 

What  exactly  does  social  studies 
mean?  For  Mr.Ray  Smith,  social 
studies  means  several  various 
things.  He  stated  very  eloquently, 
“To  me,  social  studies  is  important 
because  we  talk  about  how  we  deal 
with  people,  and  with  all  of  the 
advancements  in  technology  today, 
man’s  recorded  history  hasn’t  been 
able  to  resolve  social  problems  such 
as  conflicts  because  of  race,  religion, 
and  ethnic  backgrounds.  Until  we 
learn  how  to  get  along  with  each 
other  and  have  respect  for  each 
other  in  our  world  community,  we 
will  not  accomplish  our  main  goal 
which  is  peace  in  society.”  Al¬ 
though  it  may  mean  different 
things  for  various  people,  everyone 
has  his  own  opinion  about  the  sub¬ 
ject.  That  is  essentially  what  social 
studies  is  all  about-  varying  opin¬ 
ions  and  differing  lifestyles. 


other  than  simply  what  happens  in 
Patrick  County.  Ryan  Vaughn,  a 
Junior,  had  this  to  say  about  the 
visit  from  the  Russian  students,  “I 
never  really  got  to  meet  all  of  the 
Russian  students,  but  they  were 
easy  to  recognize  because  they  nev¬ 
er  really  knew  where  they  were 
going.  On  the  other  hand,  they 
adapted  quickly.” 

Mr.Ray  Smith  and  Mr. Douglas 
Dunlap  were  just  two  of  the  teach¬ 
ers  that  got  to  experience  the 
joy  of  teaching  an 
AP  classes.  Due 
to  the  new 
dual  enroll¬ 


Along  with  dealing  with  soci 
problems,  courses  such  as  worl 
history,  U.S.  history,  and  geogr. 
phy  dealt  more  with  history  an 
cultures  of  other  countries.  I 
Mr  .Jesse  Hiatt’s  world  history  an 
sociology  classes,  he  often  used  h 
colorful  personality  to  enhance  cla 
discussions.  Without  a  little  jokir 
around  and  teasing,  classroom  pa 
ticipation  just  would  not  be  con 
plete.  As  always,  Mr  .John  Hals< 
took  his  students  to  new  levels  ; 
he  discussed  the  importance  t 
knowing  where  everything  is,  wa 
and  could  be.  He  also  focused  pr 
marily  on  making  sure  that  sti 
dents  knew  where  all  of  the  coui 
tries  are  located.  Maps  chanj 
every  so  often,  and  is  was  fui 
damental  for  students  to  be  awa 
of  these  changes. 

All  in  all,  these  courses  enhana 
school  curriculum  in  a  way  th 
enriched  students  and  made  the: 
eager  to  learn  new  material.  Soci 
studies  is  important  and  will  nev 
be  overlooked  as  long  as  there  is 
society  and  problems. 

“Government  inspired  me 
learn  more  about  government 
procedures  in  my  country.  I’m  gk 
that  such  a  class  was  offered 
students  because  it  is  beneficial 
know  how  things  are  run  in  tl 
government,”  stated  senior  Bran, 
Patterson.  Many  students  felt  thj 
social  studies  helped  them  in  th< 
everyday  lives.  Susan  Powell  sai 
“Government  made  me  a  more  tt 
erant  and  patient  person,  and  I  w 
never  forget  the  class.”

SOCIAL  STUDIES 


MORE  HOMEWORK!?? 
\UGHHHH  .  .  .  Andrea  Reyn- 
)lds,  a  Senior,  groans  over  another 
lomework  assignment  in  govern- 
nent.  Why  did  teachers  assign  so 


much  work  for  students  to  do  at 
their  homes?  No  one  really  knows 
the  answer,  but  “practice  makes 
perfect’’  seemed  to  apply  in  most 
cases.  Even  though  the  homework 


was  beneficial  in  the  long  run,  it 
was  stressful! 


IN  DEEP  THOUGHT  AND  GETTING 
DEEPER  .  .  .  Senior  Lori  Bowman  con¬ 
centrates  on  an  assignment  in  her  U.S.  gov¬ 
ernment  class.  Reading  was  necessary  when 
it  came  to  social  studies  courses.  Being  in¬ 
formed  was  a  priority  for  all  students-  es¬ 
pecially  those  who  planned  to  vote  in  the 
upcoming  Senate  election.

AS  I  WAS  SAYING  . .  .  During  one  of 
many  class  discussions  Mr.  Douglas  Dunlap 
explains  some  very  interesting  historical  in¬ 
formation.  Mr.  Dunlap  brought  additional 
culture  to  the  school  by  organizing  a  Ger¬ 
man  club  for  students  interested  in  the 
language,  culture  and  history  of  the  German 
race.  All  in  all,  social  studies  courses  pro¬ 
vided  an  opportunity  for  students  to  become 
more  knowledgeable  about  countries  other 
than  the  U.S.,  Mexico,  and  Canada.

LETS  GET  THIS  GOOP  OUTA  HERE! 

Washing  and  rinsing  didn’t  only  happen  in 
the  cosmetology  class.  Art  students  beau¬ 
tified  their  image  with  different  types  of 
hair  color  during  the  month  of  March,  to 


celebrate  Youth  Art  Month.  Here,  Andy 
Stanley  gets  his  head  scrubbed  by  art  stu¬ 
dent  Gillian  Coe.  When  she  finished, 
Andy’s  head  of  hair  had  turned  into  a 
beautiful  royal  blue.  All  throughout  the 


month,  many  students  showed  their  true 
colors  with  colors  like  red,  green,  blue,  and 
even  purple  and  pink.  Fortunately,  the  col¬ 
oring  only  stayed  in  about  five  days.

FINE  ARTS 


The  addition  of  three  fine  art 
teachers  to  the  art  department 
brought  students  a  new  and  dif¬ 
ferent  perspective  of  teaching. 
New  ideas,  traditions,  and  view 
points  proved  to  the  students  that 
a  fresh  change  was  good. 

The  marching  band,  directed 
by  Mr.  Bill  Pons  and  new  director 
Mr.  Kevin  Lewis,  was  a  tremen¬ 
dous  success  as  far  as  improve¬ 
ment  went.  Band  member, 
MaCray  Huff  stated,  “I  feel  that 
this  year  has  been  productive  with 
two  band  directors  and  good 
music,  uh  huh.”  The  band  took 
their  yearly  trip  to  Ferrum  for 
band  camp,  performing  and  prac¬ 
ticing  their  marching  and  music. 
“Mr.  Lewis  strives  for  the  best.  If 
we  can  think  we’re  the  best,  then 
more  than  likely  we  can  be  the 
best,”  intoned  Blaire  Swails, 
marching  band  student. 


The  students  raised  money  by 
selling  biscuits  and  pizzas,  striv¬ 
ing  for  the  ultimate  goal:  Disney 
World/Epcot  Center.  When  asked 
how  this  year  went  as  far  as 
progress  was  concerned,  Mr.  Pons 
replied,  “I  think  this  year  went 
well.  We’ve  had  marked  improve¬ 
ment  from  the  beginning  of  the 
year  and  it’s  really  been  great  with 
the  help  of  two  sets  of  eyes  and 
ears.  Mr.  Lewis’  energy  and  Mr. 
Pons’  ideas  and  experience,  we’ve 
progressed  further  this  year  and 
have  united  more  as  a  family 
rather  than  a  band.” 

Mr.  John  Martin,  the  new  cho¬ 
rus  instructor,  took  over  the  job 
of  Mr.  Mike  Milam,  friend 
and  colleague.  Steven 


chorus  student,  explains,  “Mr. 
Martin,  although  can’t  hold  a  can¬ 
dle  to  Mr.  Milam  when  playing 
the  piano,  is  a  wonderful  singer. 
He  really  knows  how  to  make  a 
beautiful  sound  come  out  of  the 
mouths  of  the  students  of  cho¬ 
rus. ’’The  chorus  participated  in 
many  school  activities  such  as  pep 
rallies,  football  games,  and  assem¬ 
blies.  At  the  end  of  the  year  the 
students  put  on  a  concert.  This 
successful  and  enjoyable  show 
consisted  of  a  collection  of  differ¬ 
ent  songs  ranging  from  pop  music 

to  music 


from  broadway  shows.  Chorus 
students  took  a  retreat  in  the  fall 
to  broaden  their  knowledge  about 
singing.  Although  this  was  a  way 
to  gather  musical  techniques, 
many  students  took  a  stop  further 
and  tried  out  for  All-District  cho¬ 
rus,  a  demanding  and  competitive 
program. 

The  art  classes  were  also 
instructed  by  a  new  teacher,  Ms. 
Joyce  Hutson- Wray.  These  stu¬ 
dents  studied  art  history,  visited 
museums  as  well  as  participated 
in  the  required  studio  art.  When 
asked  about  why  he  too  Art  IV, 
Curt  Rorrer  replied,  “Art!  It’s  a 
very  enjoyable  experience  which  I 
feel  everyone  should  have. 
Everyone  should  have. 
Everyone  should  take  art,  for 
other  experiences  as  well  as 
drawing.”

Carpe  diem,  a  Latin  phrase 
meaning  seize  the  day ,  was  an  ex¬ 
cellent  way  to  sum  up  the  attitudes 
of  English  students.  Students  were 
given  a  chance  to  express  them¬ 
selves  and  their  many  different 
views  through  exciting  activities. 
Miss  Bidgie  Buchanan  stated,  “By 
having  a  variety  of  methods  in 
which  students  can  actively  par¬ 
ticipate,  learning  can  be  more  re¬ 
warding  and  successful  for  them.” 
Such  activities  included  journal 
writing,  role  acting,  class  discus¬ 
sions,  and  video  presentations. 

Due  to  the  no  holes  barred  at¬ 
titude  of  English  classes,  students 
were  able  to  plunge  in  and  give  it 
their  all;  English  became  a  chance 
to  participate  in  things  never  imag¬ 
ined.  In  many  classes  video  tape 
was  used  to  help  students  feel  com¬ 
fortable  with  standing  in 
front  of  a  group.  Mr. Stephen 
Henderson  noted  that 
“students  almost  always  do 
better  the  second  time”.  He 
was  a  teacher  who  used  vide¬ 
os  frequently  in  class. 


“Eleventh  grade  students  are  re¬ 
quired  to  become  proficient  in 
public  speaking.  Each  student 
makes  one  speech  and  the  others 
evaluate  that  performance.  We  do 
this  to  let  the  student  feel  more 
comfortable  about  presentations 
and  standing  in  front  of  the  class. 
Video  helps  make  the  students 
more  confident”  he  commented. 
Video  taping  was  a  way  to  capture 
the  moment,  and  it  helped  stu¬ 
dents  in  most  classes. 

Journal  writing  was  done  almost 
daily  in  English  classes.  Classes 
wrote  on  topics  ranging  from  the 
weather,  the  president,  and  prob¬ 


lems  teenagers  faced  in  their  lives. 
Mrs. Amy  Marshall’s  class  was  one 
of  the  classes  that  benefited  from 
journal  writing.  ”  I  give  my  stu¬ 
dents  the  opportunity  to  write  in 
journals  in  order  to  express  their 
problems  and  let  what  is  in  the 
inside  out;  so,  my  students  know 
they  can  trust  me  and  I  won’t  di¬ 
vulge  their  secrets,”  she  explained. 

Role  playing  and  class  discus¬ 
sions  went  hand  in  hand  by  al¬ 
lowing  students  to  be  heard.  Stu¬ 
dents  were  allowed  to  act  out  the 
roles  of  characters  in  the  plays  be¬ 
ing  read,  allowing  them  to  become 
one  with  “their”  character.  Janna 
Foley,  a  freshman  commented,  “I 
enjoy  role-playing  be¬ 
cause  it  helps  me  to 
understand  the  char¬ 
acters  thoughts  and 
really  relate  to 
them.”  Class  dis¬ 
cussions  gave  stu¬ 
dents  a  chance  to 
ask  questions 
and  give  their 
input. 
Teachers 


also  enjoyed  class  discussions  be¬ 
cause  it  gave  them  a  chance  to 
answer  questions  and  get  to  know 
their  students.  “Overall  we  ben- 
efitted  greatly  from  class  discus¬ 
sions,”  stated  Alison  Brammer,  a 
freshmen. 

Whether  it  was  journal  writing 
or  ciass  projects,  students  plunged 
in  giving  it  their  all.  Problems  were 
forgotten  and  students  took  every 
opportunity  to  seize  the  day. 
Through  planned  activities  stu¬ 
dents  were  able  to  forget  them¬ 
selves  in  literature,  if  only  for  a 
moment  in  a  day!

AND  WE  SIT  . .  .  Mrs. Phyllis  Eastridge, 
teacher  of  eighth-grade  advanced  English 
and  forensics  coach,  instructs  her  class  on  the 
importance  of  journal  writing.  She  empha¬ 
sizes  the  fact  that  keeping  a  journal  enhances 
writing  skills  and  also  helps  students  deal 
with  everyday  occurrences.  Loved  by  stu¬ 
dents  and  faculty  alike,  Mrs.  Eastridge  as¬ 
sisted  her  students  in  the  transition  from 
elementary  school  into  high  school.

next  exercise. 


WAITIN’  FOR  THE  NET  Ninth-grader 
Sean  Kreager  eagerly  awaits  his  chance  to 
play  a  game  of  high  intensity  volleyball  with 
his  peers.  Volleyball,  along  with  other  sports 
such  as  flag  football,  field  hockey,  and  arch¬ 


ery,  were  highlights  of  the  P.E.  classes.  Even 
though  students  still  had  to  perform  their 
daily  exercises,  P.E.  teachers  tried  to  make 
this  class  more  interesting  for  the  students. 
On  alternate  weeks  students  participated  in 


health  classes  in  which  they  learned  about 
subjects  such  as  life  saving  skills,  drug 
abuse,  and  nutrition.

HEALTH /P.E. 


™  f  /VRPv 


Running  down  the  stairs  for 
roll  call,  jogging  around  the  park¬ 
ing  lot,  and  playing  football  were 
a  few  of  the  strenuous  exercises  in 
which  the  physical  education 
classes  participated. 

For  the  eighth  graders,  it  was  a 
new  experience  all  together.  They 
were  assigned  a  locker,  a  gym 
uniform,  and  days  in  which  to 
participate  in  health  and  which 
days  to  dress  for  P.E.  They  per¬ 
formed  line  dances  in  physical 
education  class  and  studied  the 
effects  of  drugs  and  alcohol  in 
health  classes. 

While  the  eighth  grade  stu¬ 
dents  learned  about  eating  nu¬ 


tritiously  and  living  a  healthy  life¬ 
style,  the  ninth  grade  students 
learned  how  to  save  a  life.  CPR  was 
a  major  part  of  the  curriculum. 
These  students  became  certified  in 
first  aid  and  demonstrated  these 
learned  skills  with  the  help  of  the 
rescusitator  dummy.  Blaire  Swails 
stated,  “I  think  taking  the  CPR 
and  first  aid  course  is  good  because 
you  never  know  what  you’ll  come 
upon  in  real  life.  The  class  taught 
us  how  to  help  others  in  case  of  a 
real  life  emergency.” 

The  tenth  grade  class¬ 
es  spent  their  time 
learning  about  the 
road  by  watch-  4 


ing  videos  on  defensive  driving, 
drawing  road  signs,  and  receiving 
instruction. 

Driver  education  student, 
Denise  Puckett  said,  ‘‘Driving  class 
is  great  to  learn  how  to  be  a  re¬ 
sponsible  and  defensive  driver.  I’m 
really  looking  forward  to  getting 
my  drivers  license.”  Students  had 
to  drive  on  the  range  and  prove  to 
Mr.  Herbert  Diggs,  behind  the 
wheel  instructor,  that  they  were  de¬ 


fensive  drivers. 

Although  physical  education 
was  mandatory  for  the  eighth, 
ninth,  and  tenth  grades,  many  stu¬ 
dents  went  on  to  weightlifting 
and/or  advanced  physical  educa¬ 
tion.  Advanced  physical  education 
required  continuous  exercise  and 
stamina. 

Weightlifting  was  a  class  involv¬ 
ing  a  lot  of  determination  and 
stamina.  When  Wes  Jones  was 
asked  why  he  took  weightlifting, 
the  varsity  football  player  replied, 
I  took  it  because  it  gives  me 
strong  teeth  and  healthy 
bones.” 


class.  There  are  a  lot  of  interesting, 
not  to  mention  intelligent  students 
that  give  Mr.  Culler  a  challenge  to 
teach.  Mr.  Culler’s  personality  def¬ 
initely  adds  spice  and  excitement  to 
the  class.  The  best  part  is  per¬ 
forming  experiments  that  demon¬ 
strate  the  principles  in  Biology.  We 
usually  took  advantage  of  perform¬ 
ing  these  experiments  in  the  new 
lab  room.  Experiments  add  extra 
excitement  to  the  class,  but  it  is 
mostly  Mr.  Culler  that  makes  this 
course  so  much  fun. 

Biology  teacher  Ms.  Brenda 
Martin  uses  the  help  of  animals 
and  class  pets  to  keep  the  students’ 
attention.  Students  could  often 
walk  into  the  room  to  experience  a 
wide  range  of  different  animals. 
These  students  also  had  a  chance  to 
hold  and  pet  them.  Often,  signs 
displayed  the  new  arival  of  the  dif¬ 
ferent  pets.  When  walking  by  the 
class,  a  sign  on  the  door  states, 
“Please  do  not  kill  any  spiders  loose 
in  the  room.  They  are  experi¬ 
ments.’’  As  well  as  enjoying  the 
animals’  company,  the  sudents  also 
did  scientific  experiments  using  the 
scientific  process.  It  was  a  class  ef¬ 
fort  toward  understanding  scien¬ 
tific  endeavors. 


SCIENCE 


“Experiment  time!”  Students  in 
Mrs.  Sandy  Tobler’s  earth  science 
class  found  out  that  science  in¬ 
volved  more  than  just  the  usual 
book  work.  Experiments,  projects, 
visual  aids,  dead  animals,  all  of 
these  were  to  help  the  students  as 
far  as  ’hands  on’  went.  However, 
this  was  the  way  with  all  of  the 
sciences. 

Human  anatomy  students  stud¬ 
ied  all  of  the  muscles,  bones,  and 
organs  of  the  human  body.  When 
the  time  rolled  around  to  the  dis¬ 
section,  Brad  Wood,  a  student  in 
human  anatomy  said,  “I  really 
looked  forward  to  the  dissection 
part  of  human  anatomy.  Dissecting 
pigs  and  Snickers  bars  was  the 
greatest,  especially  looking  at  the 
digestive  tract  of  the  fetal  pig  after 
lunch.”  These  students  got  a  lot  of 
hands  on  as  far  as  exploring  and 
naming  parts  of  frogs,  pigs  and  yes, 
event  the  cross  section  of  a  Snickers 
bar.  Eating  their  experiments  was 
only  allowed  in  this  exception. 

Some  science  classes  focused  on 
other  subjects.  “We  worked  on 
motion,  like,  if  a  rock  dropped 
30m  per  second,  how 
high  was  the  rock 
dropped  from  in 


Corey  Easter  mentioned,  “I  think 
that  earth  science  is  a  really  cool 
class  because  I  have  learned  about 
certain  weather  conditions  to  tell 
about  that  day’s  weather.  I  know 
whether  to  wear  a  raincoat  and 
galoshes,  or  shorts  to  school.  We’ve 
also  worked  on  different  air  pres¬ 
sures,  and  how  that  correlates  into 
the  weather’s  actions. 

Science  courses  were  required  for 
graduation  and  college  enrollment, 
but  despite  this,  many  students 
took  classes  like  human  anatomy 
and  earth  science  just  for  the  cu¬ 
riosity.  Shasta  Moricle  stated,  “Mr. 
Kloonck  is  a  really  fascinating 
teacher,  he  knows  how  to  hold  the 
attention  of  the  class.  The  use  of 
his  pet  puppet  mole  helps.” 
Many  students  felt  the 
same  way  about  their 
teachers.  A.P.  Biology 
student  Christian 
Batcheller  stated, 
A.P.  Biology  is  a 
really  interesting 


the  first  place?’  I  found  that  physics 
was  fascinating.  We  learned  about 
the  litde  bits  in  life  that  effect  us 
everyday,  stuff  that  everybody  else 
takes  for  granted,”  stated  Kevin 
Handy,  physics  student.  Mr.Arnie 
Kloock  taught  the  chemistry  and 
physics  classes.  They  studied  mul¬ 
tiple  subjects  ranging  from  the  im¬ 
portance  of  algebra  and  trigonom¬ 
etry  ,  elements,  atoms,  formulas,  to 
science  history  of  the  important  sci¬ 
entists  of  our  time. 

While  the  mathematical  side  of 
chemistry  seemed  to  overwhelm 
some,  earth  science  showed  them 
the  observatory  kind  of  science. 


SCIENTIFIC  THOUGHTS  Jon  Hutch¬ 
ens  and  Steven  Walker  carefully  follow  the 
steps  for  their  scientific  experiment.  Stu¬ 
dents  enjoyed  performing  these  experiments 
in  the  new  science  lab.

MAXXIN’  AND  RELAXIN’  Juniors  Ray 
Hylton,  Kelly  Hill,  and  Senior  Jamie  Ha¬ 
vens  stmt  their  stuff  on  stage  during  the 
Foreign  Language  Assembly.  These  stu¬ 
dents,  who  were  in  their  third  year  of  Span¬ 
ish  had  to  perform  a  skit  based  on  a  tel¬ 
evision  commercial.  These  students  chose  a 
beer  commercial  but  instead  of  beer  they 
used  root  beer.  Muy  bien. 


ARE  YOU  SURE  THAT’S  THE  WAY 
YOU  SPELL  IT?  Sophomore  D.J.  Pat¬ 
terson  explains  his  homework  in  his  French 
II  class,  and  Mrs. Debbie  Fultz  gives  him 
advice  on  how  he  can  re-phrase  his  sentence 


so  it  will  be  more  clearly  understood.  Active 
class  participation  was  vital  for  all  foreign 
language  classes  because  of  the  level  of  use 
that  the  languages  required  for  fluency.

FOREIGN  LANGUAGE 


“Hola,  Senora.  Que  hizo  el  fin 
de  semana  pasado?” 

‘Nada  de  particular,  pero  me 
diverti.”  Did  you  understand  that 
question  and  response?  If  you  did 
you  are  probably  one  of  the  Spanish 
II,  IV,  or  V  students.  Along  with 
Spanish,  French  had  a  definite 
?lace  in  the  school.  In  fact,  a  group 
of  students  even  went  on  a  journey 
to  Paris  over  the  summer  vacation 
where  they  learned  more  about  the 
tench  culture  and  became  more 
luent  with  the  language.  Foreign 
anguage  classes  were  often  the 
aright  spot  of  the  day  because  of 
the  fun  and  interesting  ways  that 
the  teaching  material  was  present- 
d. 

School  was  not  the  only  place  in 
which  foreign  languages  were 
aught.  A  group  of  Russian  foreign 
xchange  students  came  to  the 
chool  in  an  attempt  to  learn  what 
he  United  States  was  like  and  also 
o  brush  up  on  their  English.  In 
iddition  to  the  students  bringing 
m  awareness  about  their  culture, 
hey  also  taught  P.C.H.S.  students 


a  few  phrases  that  were  helpful  in 
communication.  The  Russians 
came  and  went  but  were  by  no 
means  forgotten.  Pictures  and 
memories  of  fun  times  were  a  con¬ 
stant  reminder. 

Another  change  in  the  foreign 
language  curriculum  was  the  in¬ 
troduction  of  a  German  club  in¬ 
structed  by  Mr. Douglas  Dunlap. 
Mr. Dunlap  rose  to  the  challenge  of 
being  the  sponsor  of  a  club  that  was 
totally  new  to  many  students.  The 
effort  was  commended  and  respect¬ 
ed  by  students  of  all  grades.  Ach- 
tung,  baby! 

In  addition  to  the  trip  to  Paris, 
Mrs. Debbie  Fultz  kept  the  french 
language  exciting  by  using  a  va¬ 
riety  of  activities.  Whether 
reading  out  of  a  french  mag¬ 
azine  or  conversing  with  a 
“partenaire”  in  French,  all  levels 
of  french  students  stayed  busy 
and  entertained. 

The  most  anticipated  week  of 
the  year  for  all  foreign  language 
students  and  teachers  was  For¬ 
eign  Language  Week.  Span¬ 


ish  teachers  Mrs. Anne  Belcher, 
Mrs. Mary  Lee  Mitchell,  and 
Mrs. Anita  Knight  kept  busy  or¬ 
ganizing  Spanish  projects,  skits, 
dances,  and  songs  for  the  com¬ 
petition  at  Surry  Community  Col¬ 
lege.  When  asked  of  her  goals  for 
the  year,  Mrs. Anita  Knight  replied, 
“Some  of  my  goals  are  to  win  the 
booth  at  Surry,  have  good  skits  for 
the  Foreign  Language  Assembly, 
and  to  give  my  Spanish  I  students  a 
good  foundation  in  the  language.” 
Being  a  “profesora”  of  Spanish  I 


and  III,  Mrs.Anita  Knight  had  her 
work  cut  out  for  her.  Mrs. Debbie 
Fultz,  the  only  French  teacher,  also 
had  a  tremendous  amount  of  work 
to  do  in  order  for  her  students  to  be 
ready  at  the  competition.  Everyone 
worked  hard  and  was  commended 
for  a  job  well  done.  “Formidable” 
or  “Bien”;  no  matter  how  you  say 
it,  there’s  only  one  way  to  describe 
these  teachers,  “Great!”

FOREIGN  LANGUAG 


Special  needs  may  have  required 
a  little  more  time  and  some  extra 
gumption  on  the  part  of  the  special 
education  teachers,  but  the  end  re¬ 
sult  was  more  than  gratifying.  Di¬ 
rected  under  Mrs.Lorna  Dean, 
Mrs.Elva  Haden,  Mrs. Marsha 
Marcela,  Mr. Charles  Patterson, 
Mrs. Amy  Short,  Mr. Wayne  Viers, 
Mrs. Debbie  Hoback  and 
Mrs. Melinda  Comer,  students  in¬ 
volved  in  the  special  education  pro¬ 
gram  worked  consistently 
through¬ 


out  the  day. 

In  addition  to  the  guidance  pro¬ 
vided  by  teachers,  student  tutors 
helped  the  students  to  improve  in 
areas  such  as  motor  skills,  coor¬ 
dination  skills,  and  communication 
skills.  Perhaps  one  of  the  necessary 
traits  for  the  student  tutors  was 
that  of  determination.  These 
“special”  students  needed  love  and 
time  devoted  to  their  needs  more 
than  anything  else;  only  students 
who  had  plenty 


of  time  and  patience  could  accom¬ 
modate  them. 

The  students’  primary  focus  was 
to  concentrate  on  daily  life  skills. 
They  spent  time  working  on  the 
alphabet,  spelling  their  names, 
working  with  numbers,  exercising, 
coloring  pictures,  and  learning  sign 
language.  If  time  allowed,  the  stu¬ 
dents  were  permitted  to  take  a 
short  nap.  When  asked  what  the 
curriculum  for  the  school  year 
would  be,  Mrs.Lorna  Dean  replied, 
“We’re  doing  a  lot  of  the 
same  things  again  this 
year,  but  we  are  try¬ 
ing  to  use  some 
sign  language. 
We  have  a  new 
student, 
Marcie,  who  is 
deaf.  Chris 
Lester  also  uses 
sign  lan¬ 
guage. 


■ 


' 


Learning  sign  language  isn’t  that 
hard;  it’s  just  like  learning  a  foreign 
language.  If  you  don’t  use  it,  you’ll 
forget  it.” 

Mrs. Melinda  Comer,  who 
taught  English  and  social  studies, 
put  an  emphasis  on  making  stu¬ 
dents  able  to  function  after  school. 
“We  focus  on  being  able  to  read 
and  write  well  enough  for  the  stu¬ 
dents  to  be  productive  citizens  in 
our  society,”  she  stated  when  asked 
of  her  goals  for  the  class.  Social 
studies  and  history  were  taught  to 
give  students  “a  basic  understand¬ 
ing  of  society  and  how  they  fit  in 
the  modern  day  world”.  Mrs. Amy 
Short  taught  math,  science,  and 
health.  Consumer  math  focused  on 
“trying  to  get  students  ready  for 
the  working  world”.  Sciences  were 
alternated  from  year  to  year  and 
this  year  the  emphasis  was  on 
physical  science.  Health  was  also 
taught  by  Mrs. Amy  Short  who 
gave  eigth  grade  students  a  few  tips 
of  how  to  “assimilate  into  the  high 
school  population”.  Mr. Wayne 
Viers  was  a  welcome  sight  to  stu¬ 
dents  as  a  tutor  who  “helped  stu¬ 
dents  with  classes  they  had  prob¬ 
lems  with.”  Mr. Charles  Patterson 
taught  math,  English,  and  social 
studies,  joined  by  Mrs. Debbie 
Hoback  who  was  teaching  reading 
resource  and  English  11  and  12. 
Mrs. Marsha  Marcella  was  also  in¬ 
volved  teaching  English  8  and  9 
and  math  8. 

Warm,  caring,  full  of  potential, 
friendly,  and  humorous-these  char¬ 
acteristics  were  present  in  all  of  the 
students.  The  fact  that  these  stu¬ 
dents  were  able  to  recognize  their 
strong  points  as  well  as  their  weak¬ 
nesses  made  them  even  more 
“special”.

KNIGHTS  OF  THE  ROUND  TABLE 

Special  education  students  Eric  Griffin, 
Kawana  Dalton,  and  Chris  Lester  gather 
around  their  table  (it’s  not  actually  round, 
but  noble  nonetheless)  for  a  class  discussion. 
Talking  about  various  subjects  like  plans  for 
the  weekend  and  favorite  aspects  of  life  were 
the  highlights  of  this  class.  Faithfully  in¬ 
structed  by  Mrs.  Lorna  Dean  and  her  as¬ 
sistant  Elva  Hayden,  this  class  of  bright 
students  learned  a  lot  about  life  and  what  it 
means  to  be  friends. 


LOOKING  TOWARDS  THE  FUTURE 

Eric  Griffin  looks  toward  the  future  with 
high  expectations.  Eric  was  delighted  at  the 
opportunity  to  show  off  his  knowledge 
whenever  possible.  Many  visitors  frequented 


Mrs.  Lorna  Dean’s  classroom  and  found  that 
there  was  more  than  met  the  eye  when  it 
came  to  opening  that  wooden  door  and 
stepping  inside.  Full  of  laughter  or  the  smell 
of  freshly  popped  popcorn,  this  classroom 


was  a  place  for  fun  and  learning.

COMPUTE  PLEASE  Jessica  Nelson  types 
word  perfect  on  her  computer  in  her  BCA 
class.  BCA  students  studied  Word  Perfect 
and  practiced  many  other  programming 
skills.  The  students  also  studied  how  to 
make  spread  sheets,  perform  letter  typing, 
and  how  to  incorperate  these  learned  skills 
in  a  secretarial  job. 


COLLEGE  PREPARATION  Many  stu¬ 
dents  preparing  for  college  were  required  to 
fill  out  applications  and  set  themselves  up 
for  their  college  years.  Landon  Nowlin,  com¬ 
puting  information  in  his  BCA  class,  uses 


his  learned  computer  skills  to  improve  and 
become  competent  for  college.  When  it 
came  to  papers,  essays,  and  required  typed 
work,  BCA  was  the  class  to  take  to  learn  the 
necessary  fundamentals  of  the  computer. 


These  skills  helped  students  to  understand 
the  computer  and  become  informed  for  the 
future-demanding  work  force.

VOCATIONAL 


While  many  students  want  to 
pursue  their  life  in  fields  with  the 
help  of  mandatory  English,  science 
and  math  courses,  many  students 
•  go  to  the  vocational  building  to 
study  courses  like  business  eco¬ 
nomics,  cosmetology,  drafting, 
ROTC,  and  mechanics.  These  stu¬ 
dents  used  real  hands-on  courses  to 
prepare  themselves  for  the  real 
world  later  on  in  their  careers. 

Jennifer  Grogan,  economics  stu¬ 
dent  explains,  “Because  I  was  con¬ 
sidering  to  be  a  lawyer,  I  wanted  a 
good  background  of  laws  and  real 
life  occurrences  to  educate  and  pre¬ 
pare  me  for  the  happenings  of  the 
modern  work  force.”  The  economic 
class  teaches  the  different  types  of 


economy,  how  to  stabilize  it  and 
the  history  behind  it. 

Cosmetology  prepared  students 
for  the  workforce  outside  as  well. 
These  students  studied  the  basics 
from  head  to  toe  about  the  many 
different  skin  types,  colors,  and 
combinations  used  in  make-up  and 
special  hair,  nail,  and  skin  hygiene. 
Cindy  Stowe,  cosmetology  student 
states,  “We  learn  everything  we 
need  to  know  for  state  board 
(specialized  tests  taken  to  receive 
practicing  license)  so  that  we  can 
pursue  basically  whatever  we  want. 
We  can  open  a  salon,  work  as  a 
manicurist,  cut  hair,  anything.” 
When  asked  why  she  enjoyed  cos- 
metology,  Cindy  replied, 
“Cosmetology  is  a  way  for  me  to 
express  my  creativity.” 

the  BCA  students 
learned  the  basics  in  com¬ 
puter  programming.  Sara 
Marshall  states,  “BCA 
teaches  you  to  use 
Wordperfect,  and  with 
WordPerfect,  you  can  do 
anything,  spread  sheets, 
type  letters,  it’s  good  for 
most  secretarial  jobs.” 
while  Sarah  discussed  her 
BCA  class,  Angie  Hutch¬ 
ins  talked  about  her  child 
care  class,  taught  by  Ms. 
Naomi  Conner.  Angie 


describes  the  Child  care  class:  “It 
teaches  you  how  to  understand  and 
care  for  children.  It  will  help  me 
when  I  choose  to  have  a  child  so 
that  I  will  be  able  to  take  good  care 
of  it  and  become  a  good  parent.” 

Building  trades  course  taught 
the  students  the  many  different 
hand  tools  and  basic  safety  re¬ 
quired  when  handling  these  instru¬ 
ments.  Another  form  of  building 
trades  could  be  incorporated  with 
technical  drawing  classes.  These 
classes,  taught  by  Mr. Bill  Clement, 
could  be  used  for  a  background 
in  architecture,  mechanics,  or 
engineering  jobs.  Nathan 
Petway  intoned,  ‘‘I 
took  it  because  I  plan 
on  being  a  drafter, 
and  basic  tech  will 
help  me  get  through 
my  college  courses  to 
become  that.”  An¬ 
drew  Sloop  added,  “I 
went  in  basic  technical 
drawing  and  found 
that  it  was  really  a  lot 
of  fun.  I  like  to  draw 
and  listen  to  Mr. 
element’s  stories.  They 
really  add  to  the 
class.” 

Kevin  Handy 
summed  up  his  class, 
electronics,  ‘‘Well, 

I’m  going  into  elec¬ 
tronical  engineering, 
so  this  class  will  give 
me  that  added 
edge  as  opposed 
to  those  people 


,:v. 


JSfeis  • 


who  haven’t  taken  the  course.  The 
class  really  gives  you  the  needed 
skills  for  the  career  you  pursue.” 

The  new  class,  ROTC,  instruct¬ 
ed  by  Colonel  Glenn  Blackburn  is 
for  the  student  who  wants  to  make 
a  difference  as  a  good  citizen.  These 
students  practiced  marching,  and 
regular  army  drills  used  in  the  real 
army.  “The  leadership  and  respon¬ 
sibilities  you  take  on  in  life  will 
help  you  in  whatever  you  do.”  said 
ROTC  Student  Laura  Blake. 


Go,  Cougars,  Go!  Fans  cheer  for  the  cougar  football  team 
after  a  yard  gaining  run.  Fans  attended  football  games  to 
support  the  Cougars  and  show  their  school  spirit.  The 
football  team  made  it  to  the  district  playoffs  for  the  first 
time  in  school  history. 

I’m  here  to  help.  Mr.  Mark  Redden  talks  with  sub- 
freshmen  about  how  school  operates.  Faculty  members  tried 
to  help  students  with  their  problems  and  pressures  brought 
on  by  the  stress  of  school  life  and  extracurricular  activities.

pand  beyond  what’s  happening 
next  weekend. 

.  .  .you  spend  your  mornings 


hanging  out  at  the  “Senior  Cor¬ 
ner”,  reveling  in  your  superiority 
over  the  underclassmen  and  catch¬ 
ing  up  on  the  latest  gossip. 

.  .  .it  is  the  middle  of  Novem¬ 
ber,  and  you  are  already  making 
hotel  reservations  at  Myrtle  Beach. 

.  .  .you  get  more  junk  mail  than 
your  parents. 

.  .  .you  have  practically  spilled 
forth  your  entire  life  story  through 
all  the  college  application  essays. 

.  .  .you  miss  every  deadline  for 
the  SAT  registration  and  have  to 
pay  the  $15.00  late  fee. 

.  .  .you  finally  get  to  park  you 
car  in  the  esteemed  senior  parking 
lot,  and  arrogantly  refuse  to  let  any 
underclassman  out  when  you  leave. 

.  .  .“Senioritis”  sets  in  and  your 
teachers  let  you  know  daily  how 
obnoxious  you’ve  become. 


.  .  .you  get  to  sit  at  the  esteemed 
“senior  table,”  share  the  “senior 
salt’’  with  your  buddies,  and 
threaten  bodily  harm  to  any  un¬ 
derclassman  who  even  thinks  of  try¬ 
ing  to  sit  down  there. 

.  .  .your  entire  paycheck  is  de¬ 
voted  to  paying  for  either  senior 
pictures,  your  cap  and  gown,  an¬ 
nouncements  or  the  “senior  beach 
week  fund.” 

.  .  .you  and  your  friends  spend 
hours  debating  which  song  would 
best  represent  yourselves  as  senior 
class  song. 

.  .  .you  don’t  care  about  home¬ 
work  because  college  deadlines  are 
making  you  crazy. 

.  .  .you  spend  more  time  in 
guidance  than  you  do  in  class. 

.  .  .you  fork  over  more  than 
$200  for  senior  pictures  and  then 


realize  your  pictures  were  taken  on 
the  worst  “bad  hair  day”  you’ve 
ever  had. 

.  .  .you  are  finally  the  one  who  is 
marching  around  the  gym  during 
assemblies  and  everyone  else  has  to 
stand  up  and  watch. 

.  .  .you  stubbornly  refuse  to  give 
more  than  two  pennies  to  the 
“Spirit  Link”  fund. 

.  .  .you  triumphantly  dash  to  the 
front  of  the  lunch  line  every  day 
and  cut  line  without  incurring  the 
wrath  of  the  lunch  room  super¬ 
visor. 

.  .  .you  begin  to  realize  you’re 
actually  going  to  miss  PCHS,  pep 
rallies,  free  ice  cream,  walking  the 
halls,  harassing  teachers,  ball 
games,  snow  days,  field  trips, 
morning  announcements,  and  most 
of  all,  your  friends.

There  is  more  to  being  a 
senior  besides  being  able  to 
park  in  the  senior  parking  lot 
and  going  first  in  the  lunch 
line.  There  were  many  de¬ 
cisions  to  be  made  by  the 
seniors  concerning  what 
items  would  represent  them¬ 


selves. 

The  senior  class  voted  a  white 
rose  as  the  flower,  purple  and  black 
as  their  class  colors.  A  class  motto 
was  selected  as  well,  and  “The  Riv¬ 
er’’  was  chosen  as  the  senior  class 
song.  Also,  the  seniors  selected 
twenty  room  mothers  to  help  them 


with  things  such  as  the  class  picnic 
and  they  also  brought  food  to 
Sports  Lanes  after  graduation. 

The  class  of  1995  proved  to  be  a 
united  and  spirited  class,  and  this 
year  will  be  held  forever  in  each 
senior’s  mind. 


WHO  IS  YOUR 
HERO  AND  WHY? 

“Boron,  because  he  is  an  inspi¬ 
ration  for  a  generation!,”  Curt 
Rorrer. 

“My  heroes  have  always  been 
cowboys  because  they  ride 
horses  and  play  with  cows,”  Lisa 
Roop. 

“Roseanne  Barr;  she  is  the  fun¬ 
niest  person  I  can  think  of,”  Ma¬ 
ria  McCormick. 

“Jeffrey  Dahmer,  because  he 
eats  people,”  Anonymous. 
“Kermit  the  Frog,  because  I  love 
him!,”  Stacy  Marshall. 

“My  fifth  grade  teacher,  Miss 
Bolt,  because  she  really  helped 
me  a  lot,”  Sherry  Morse. 
“Gunny,  because  he’s  so  darn 
smart,”  Stephanie  Fain. 

“Jodie  Foster,  because  she  is  the 
best  actress  in  the  world.  Need  I 
say  more?,”  Christina  Boyd. 
“Hulk  Hogan,  because  he  says 
his  prayers,  takes  his  vitamins, 
and  trains  real  hard,”  Anony¬ 
mous.

College  Courses.  Forty-hour

Are  we  talking  about  the  distant 
future  for  us  high  school  students? 
No;  for  many  of  us,  we’re  speaking 
of  the  here  and  now. 

Thanks  to  the  vocational  system 
and  the  dual  enrollment  program, 
many  students  are  getting  a  jump 
on  their  future  plans. 

Some  vocational  students,  such 
as  those  in  cosmetology,  building 
trades,  auto  mechanics,  and  elec¬ 
tronics  are  already  learning  valuable 
skills  needed  for  their  trade.  After 
participating  in  these  vocational 
studies,  a  minimal  amount  of  ed¬ 
ucation  is  required  after  high 
school  in  order  to  be  qualified  in 
that  profession.  Cindy  Stowe,  who 


is  in  her  third  year  of  cosmetology, 
plans  to  get  her  cosmetology  license 
soon  after  graduation  and  begin 
working  in  a  salon  right  away. 
Who  says,  ‘We’ll  never  use  this 
stuff  in  real  life  anyway’? 

Members  of  VICA  (Vocational 
Industrial  Clubs  of  America)  have 
the  option  of  taking  part  in  the  co¬ 
op  program,  in  which  students  go 
to  school  for  the  first  half  of  the 
day,  and  work  at  a  local  business 
for  the  second  half.  Through  this 
program,  students  get  a  taste  of  the 
‘real  world’  early  on  and  pick  up 
extra  spending  money  as  well. 

College  bound  juniors  and  seni¬ 
ors  found  that  taking  advanced 
classes,  such  as  AP  English  and  AP 
Calculus,  could  have  added  ben¬ 


efits;  receiving  college  credit  from 
Patrick  Henry  Community  College 
as  well  as  high  school  credit.  By 
receiving  this  credit,  students  could 
get  required  courses  out  of  the  way 
in  advance,  while  saving  them¬ 
selves  (and  their  parents)  a  good 
deal  of  money.  Stacy  Marshall,  who 
took  advantage  of  the  dual¬ 
enrollment  program,  liked  it  be¬ 
cause,  “it  means  I  have  that  I  have 
many  less  classes  to  take  in  college 
so  maybe  I  can  take  a  lighter  course 
load.” 

Planning  ahead  and  becoming 
prepared  for  the  future,  these  stu¬ 
dents  know  one  thing:  ‘Don’t  stop 
thinking  about  tomorrow!’

A  REAL  ’HANDY’MAN.  Electronics  stu¬ 
dent  Kevin  Handy  tries  to  convince  a  friend 
that  this  car  stereo  really  is  part  of  a  home¬ 
work  assignment  for  his  electronics  class. 
Most  vocational  classes  focused  on  hands-on 
learning  rather  than  conventional  learning 
methods  in  order  to  prepare  students  for  the 
work  force. 

I  COULD  JUST  CURL  UP  AND  DYE. 

Cosmetology  student  Kristie  Lawson  prac¬ 
tices  her  styling  techniques  on  a  mannequin. 
Because  becoming  a  hairstylist  meant  years 
of  practice,  many  future  beauticians  chose  to 
begin  their  careers  early  through  the  cos¬ 
metology  program.

football  souvenir,  a  favorite  stuffed 
animal,  old  love  letters,  or  old  cas¬ 
sette  tapes  are  perfect  examples  of 
some  of  our  most  memorable  pos¬ 
sessions.  To  others  these  tokens  of 
some  part  of  one’s  life  are  insig¬ 
nificant;  however,  it  may  be  very 
meaningful  to  the  person  who  pos¬ 
sesses  it. 

Many  people  store  up  different 
memories  that  they  will  remember 
for  the  rest  of  their  lives.  Along  the 
way  we  pick  up  items  that  refresh 
our  memories  and  take  us  back  to 
■  that  special  day.  For  this  reason,  we 
;  hold  on  to  these  prized  possessions. 

“My  favorite  possession  is  a  Lit- 


? 

I 

tie  Mermaid  pillow  because  my 
boyfriend  gave  it  to  me  for  Christ¬ 
mas  and  it  holds  special  meaning,’’ 
stated  Maria  McCormick. 

Old  event  programs,  lucky  pen¬ 
nies,  comic  strips,  a  favorite  pair  of 
jeans,  or  faded  old  photographs  are 
more  mementos  that  represent 
something  special  in  our  past. 
Some  people  collect  their  mem¬ 
orable  possessions  in  a  scrapbook  or 
a  box  while  others  leave  these 
things  laying  around  their  room, 
which  adds  to  the  decor  as  well  as 
bringing  back  fond  memories. 

“On  my  dresser  I  have  a  Cab¬ 
bage  Patch  kid  I  got  on  my  sixth 
birthday.  It  is  memorable  to  me 


because  it  was  designed  using  my 
physical  traits,”  commented  Amy 
Love. 

No  matters  what  item  that  you 
hold  dear  to  your  heart,  it  is  your 
memory  and  no  one  else’s.  From 
your  lucky  underwear  to  a  greeting 
card  from  a  friend,  everyone  has 
different  kinds  of  memorable  be¬ 
longings.  So  next  time  you  see  that 
torn  ticket  stub  or  crumpled  nap¬ 
kin,  think  twice  about  throwing  it 
away;  it  may  seem  like  ’just  junk’ 
now,  but  in  a  few  years,  it  may  be 
just  the  thing  to  send  you  on  a  trip 
down  memory  lane. 


WHAT  WAS  YOUR 
MOST  MEMORA¬ 
BLE  MOMENT  OF 
HIGH  SCHOOL? 

“The  moment  I  shot  my  boy¬ 
friend  point  blank  with  a  water 
gun  and  watched  it  drip  off  his 
glasses,”  Emily  Moore. 

‘‘I  know  it  sounds  cheesy,  but  my 
most  memorable  moment  of  high 
school  was  when  I  got  my  class 
ring,”  Susan  Powell. 

“When  I  puked  in  class,”  Anon¬ 
ymous. 

“The  Homecoming  pep  rally  my 
ninth  grade  year,  and  the  spirit 
that  the  seniors  of  that  year 
had,”  Christy  Carlson. 

“Waking  up  the  day  after  prom 
to  find  out  that  my  date  had  fall¬ 
en  asleep  at  the  wheel,  wrecked, 
and  spent  the  rest  of  the  day 
picking  glass  out  of  his  ears,”  Gill 
Coe.

POrESB  OF  plT 


“Hey,  you’re  so  ugly,  when  you 
were  born,  the  doctor  slapped  your 
mother.” 

Oh,  yeah,  well  you’re  so  ugly, 
when  you  were  a  kid  your  mama 
had  to  put  a  bone  around  your 
neck  just  to  get  the  dogs  to  play 
with  you.” 

Sound  familiar?  Of  course  it 
does.  In  the  high  school  world  such 
cutdowns  were  as  much  of  an  in¬ 
stitution  as  say,  homework. 

Common  subjects  of  “rags”  and 
“barbs”  were  being  ugly,  too  fat, 
too  skinny,  stupid  or  even  too 
smart. 

However  even  if  you  did  not 
have  one  of  these  distinguishing 
characteristics,  you  were  not  im¬ 
mune  to  cracks;  people  who 
“vamp”  on  their  classmates  rarely 
discriminate  against  anyone.  This 


has  forced  “vampers”  to  become 
more  creative  in  their  snide  re¬ 
marks,  and  some,  such  as  Vic 
Deekens,  have  elevated  “ragging” 
to  an  art  form.  In  fact,  when  asked 
to  comment  about  his  putdowns, 
all  he  could  say  was,  “I’m  not 
giving  you  a  quote  for  your  lame 
yearbook,  you  funny-dressing, 
mushroom-headed  hippie- 
wannabe.” 

Although  most  “raggers” 
worked  alone,  others  chose  to  con¬ 
gregate  in  groups  to  make  their 
barbs  in  what  could  only  be  de¬ 
fined  as  “crack  packs.”  Curt  Akers, 
Mitch  Sheppard,  Richard  Carlson, 
Christian  Batcheller,  and  Zach 
Kreager  were  one  of  these  such 
groups.  These  guys  always  stuck 
together,  sharing  many  inside  jokes 
and  cracks  about  other  people, 


much  to  the  dismay  of  certain  j 
teachers.  “You  always  wonder 
what  they’re  laughing  about,  and  it 
always  appears  that  they’re  laugh¬ 
ing  about  you,”  said  Spanish 
teacher  Ann  Belcher. 

Why  did  people  like  to  cut 
down  on  others?  Was  it  for  re- 
venge,  attention,  or  just  for  fun? 
For  Vic  Deekens,  the  motivation 
was  simply  “trying  to  outdo  your 
friends  and  be  the  funniest  of  the 
group.”  He  added,  “Hopefully  no¬ 
body’s  feelings  get  hurt,  but  if  you 
can  get  a  good  laugh,  then  fine.” 
Whether  we  like  to  admit  it  or  not, 
everybody  puts  down  other  people; 
it’s  human  nature.  Think  it’s  un¬ 
fair?  Oh  yeah,  you’re  ugly  and  your 
mama  dresses  you  funny!

S.A.T.  registration  form.  College-bound 
seniors  often  found  themselves  bombarded 
with  frustrating  paperwork.  Fortunately, 
guidance  counselors  were  always  available  to 
help  students  with  everything  from  school 
choices  to  scholarship  opportunities  to  career 
guidance.

What  were  three  common  letters 
that  almost  every  student  feared? 
Do  the  letters  S.A.T.  strike  a 
chord?  It  was  perfectly  normal  to 
worry  about  this  test  because  it  was 
a  necessity  for  college-bound  stu¬ 
dents.  The  test  contained  two  sec¬ 
tions,  math  and  verbal,  and  usually 


lasted  from  8:30  a.m.  to  12:30 
p.m., leaving  students  mentally  and 
physically  drained  from  their  ex¬ 
ertions. 

The  Scholastic  Aptitude  Test 
was  given  on  various  dates  and  at 
various  locations  throughout  the 
year.  Many  people  decided  to  take 


the  SAT  more  than  once,  and  many 
took  the  SAT  II  test,  which  was  a 
requirement  for  some  colleges. 
Most  students  breathed  a  sigh  of 
relief  after  taking  the  SAT,  know¬ 
ing  that  at  last  the  torture  was 
over.  That  is,  at  least  until  the  next 
time  they  decided  to  take  it.

TURNING  18:

What  is  the  age  of  maturity,  and 
when  do  you  actually  receive  total 
freedom?  Most  people  would  agree 
by  saying  eighteen  is  when  you  are 
an  adult. 

At  the  age  of  eighteen  most  peo¬ 
ple  are  either  going  to  college  to 
further  their  education  or  are  going 
to  join  the  work  force.  This  can  be 
seen  as  growing  up  because  they  are 
going  out  on  their  own  without  the 
assistance  of  their  parents  as  much 
as  before. 

“Eighteen  is  when  you  leave  ad¬ 
olescence  and  enter  adulthood.  I  see 
turning  eighteen  as  the  turning 
point  of  my  life  and  a  birth  of  new 
freedom,”  said  Tara  Dawson. 

In  reality,  eighteen  is  the  age  of 


becoming  an  adult.  At  this  age  you 
are  legal  to  vote  and  are  no  longer 
looked  upon  as  being  a  minor.  This 
age  brings  on  much  excitement  be¬ 
cause  you  are  able  to  go  out  and 
face  the  world  on  your  own  and 
make  your  own  decisions. 

Mary  Bryant  simply  stated,  “I 
look  forward  to  becoming  eighteen 
because  it  means  that  I  will  be  able 
to  move  out,  make  my  own  de¬ 
cisions,  and  not  have  to  answer  to 
anyone.” 

Turning  eighteen  is  a  big  step 
because  it  is  the  departure  of  child¬ 
hood  to  the  dawn  of  adulthood. 
New  decisions  and  new  opportu¬ 
nities  are  going  to  arise  the  day  you 
turn  eighteen.

Everyone  counted  down  the  days 
of  the  week  until  Friday.  After  a 
long  week  of  school,  work,  or  a 
combination  of  both,  everyone  de- 
|  served  to  have  a  weekend  full  of 
fun  and  exciting  things.  Weekends 
may  have  been  a  time  to  sleep  late, 
watch  TV,  hang  out  with  friends, 
or  relax.  The  opportunity  to  do 
something  besides  schoolwork  was 
an  occasion  to  celebrate  in  itself. 

“Weekends  are  a  time  for  every¬ 
one  to  unwind  from  the  pressures 
of  going  to  school.  Many  people 
choose  to  do  different  things  on  the 
weekend.  I  personally  prefer  to  go 
out  and  do  things  with  my  boy¬ 
friend  and  my  friends,”  stated  Kel¬ 
ly  Collins.  Stephen  Walker  also  en¬ 
joyed  going  out  on  weekends,  but 


added  that,  “because  I’m  taking  so 
many  advanced  classes,  and  have  a 
job,  too,  I  have  to  use  the  weekend 
to  catch  up  on  my  homework”. 

Many  people  chose  to  cruise 
around  different  cruising  spots. 
Some  went  to  the  ever-popular 
’DQ’  in  Stuart  while  others  ven¬ 
tured  to  places  such  as  Collinsville 
or  Mt.  Airy.  People  looked  for 
parking  lots  to  sit  in  and  socialize 
with  old  friends,  as  well  as  meeting 
new  ones.  One  of  the  most  in¬ 
teresting  things  about  cruising  was 
looking  at  the  different  types  of 
cars  that  people  drove,  which  were 
sometimes  an  indication  of  the 
owner’s  personality. 

Others  opted  to  go  out  ’one  on 
one’  instead  of  with  a  group.  Some 


people  had  a  standing  date  with 
their  steadies  every  weekend,  while 
the  ’singles’  chose  to  go  out  with 
someone  different  each  weekend 
instead.  For  the  majority  of  these 
people,  a  date  typically  consisted  of 
a  trip  to  the  movies  and  dinner  at  a 
restaurant.  Because  of  the  lack  of 
entertainment  options  within  our 
own  county,  most  couples  had  to 
travel  elsewhere,  usually  Mt.  Airy 
or  Martinsville,  in  order  to  see  a 
movie,  go  bowling,  or  play  Putt- 
putt. 

Whatever  the  activity,  weekends 
were  a  time  to  remember  and  en¬ 
joy.  Always  make  the  most  of  a 
weekend;  because  Monday  is  hid¬ 
ing  right  around  the  corner.

“I  struck  out,”  Pam  Alexander. 

“I  forced  my  date  to  eat  Junior 
Mints,”  Jon  Hutchens. 

“What  date?  All  of  my  dates  are 
too  cheap  to  take  me  anywhere,” 
Christina  Boyd. 

“We  went  to  the  drugstore,  bought 
what  we  needed,  and  then  went 
back  to  my  house,”  Lisa  Roop. 

“I  had  fun,”  Heath  Derrick. 

“We  sat  at  home  and  watched  a 
movie,”  Holly  Terry. 

“We  went  to  a  nice  restaurant  and 
talked  about  what  we  wanted  in  the 
future,  and  then  we  went  bowling,” 
Doug  Martin. 

“Went  to  a  football  game  and  a 
dance  at  PCHS,”  Tiffany  Turman. 
“I  went  to  the  movies  with  one  guy, 
and  then  1  left  with  another,” 
Mandy  Burak. 

“I  got  yelled  at,  I  didn’t  pay  for  the 
meal  because  she  wouldn’t  let  me, 
and  at  the  end  of  the  night  I  got 
dogged,”  Stephen  Walker. 
“Parked,”  Anonymous. 

“I  went  over  to  my  date’s  house 
and  watched  a  movie.  It  was  Hal¬ 
loween  and  later  on  somebody 
came  by  and  toilet  papered  her 
house,”  Christian  Batcheller. 

“We  rode  over  to  someone’s  house 
and  ate,  and  we  were  going  to  go  to 
the  movies  but  we  never  did”, 
Becky  Leeper. 

“We  went  out  to  eat,  and  to  the

COULD  It  BE 

LDvE? 


Sylvia  said,  “Oh,  Ron,  you  are 
the  man  of  my  dreams!” 

Ron  replied,  “Oh,  Sylvia,  I  love 
you  more  than  life  itself!” 

Sylvia  then  exclaimed,  “I  could 
just  die  in  your  arms,  sugar- 
wooger!” 

Is  this  romantic  encounter  a 
scene  from  a  cheesy  soap  opera  or  a 
steamy  romance  novel?  No!!  This  is 
a  conversation  in  the  hall  of  your 
very  own  high  school! 

“What?”  you  say.  “When  did 
PCHS  become  a  haven  for  starry- 
eyed  lovers?  Well,  for  many  people, 
school  was  a  great  opportunity  for 
social  interaction  and  that  of  course 
meant  meeting  members  of  the  op¬ 
posite  sex.  A  guy  and  girl  met, 
went  out  on  dates,  and  then,  BAM! 
suddenly  they’re  mistyandrandy  or 
andyandbecky,  having  crossed  the 
border  into  “coupledom”. 

Once  a  guy  and  a  girl  achieved 
couple  status,  they  often  became  a 
hot  topic  of  conversation.  “Have 
you  heard  about  Pete  and  Laura?  I 
hear  their  relationship’s  on  the 
rocks,”  people  say.  Or,  “Did  you 
know  that  Jessica  is  going  out  with 


Joey  now?  I  thought  she  was  still 
dating  Patrick.”  These  couples 
were  also  ever-present  fixtures  in 
the  school;  in  the  lobby,  at  her 
locker,  or  outside  of  his  homeroom 
class. 

Not  everyone  opted  to  “pair 
up”,  however.  Some  such  as,  Susan 
Hopkins,  chose  to  “play  the  field” 
instead.  She  said,  “I’m  young  and  I 
just  want  to  go  out  and  have  fun, 
and  not  be  tied  down;  I  just  think 
it  sucks  that  most  people  around 
here  don’t  share  that  same  atti¬ 
tude.”  While  dating  steady  offered 
many  advantages,  such  as  closeness 
and  the  assurance  of  always  having 
a  date  every  weekend,  playing  the 
field  had  advantages  as  well;  get¬ 
ting  to  know  a  wide  variety  of 
people,  and  having  more  freedom 
than  if  you  were  committed  to 
someone. 

Whether  you  dated  a  different 
person  every  weekend,  or  stuck 
with  your  “one  and  only”,  the 
“dating  game”  proved  to  be  an 
unforgettable  part  of  the  adolescent 
experience.

took  on  the  role  of  best  friend,  because  they

GONE 

One  night  in  Paris,  a  beautiful 
starlet  lost  one  of  her  earrings.  Two 
days  later,  the  rest  of  the  world 
started  wearing  only  one  earring.  A 
fad  was  born. 

In  high  school,  fads  start  in 
much  the  same  way;  somebody 
wears  or  does  something  “cool”, 
and  before  long  everybody’s  doing 
it.  This  was  the  case  with  many 
slang  expressions,  such  as  “shame” 
of  years  past,  (used  to  express  dis¬ 
approval),  the  ever  popular 
" cheesy ”,  (another  negative  term), 
as  well  as  “inside  slang”,  such  as 
“gurtney”,  which  was  initiated  by 
the  “Mountain  Boys”  and  whose 
meaning  is  yet  unknown  to  the  rest 
of  the  student  body. 


Many  other  fads  made  their  way 
to  the  high  school  as  well,  such  as 
the  sporting  of  facial  hair  otherwise 
known  as  “goatees”.  Although  a 
large  number  of  guys  grew  their 
beards  in  this  fashion,  some  were 
not  happy  to  be  in  such  good  com¬ 
pany,  and  felt  that  fads  sometimes 
threaten  individuality.  Richard 
Carlson  said,  “I  liked  my  goatee 
before  everybody  else  started  grow¬ 
ing  one.”  Other  “hairy”  trends 
were  popular  as  well,  such  as  hair 
additions  or  “weaves”.  Some  peo¬ 
ple  chose  the  full  treatment,  getting 
their  entire  heads  braided,  while  a 
large  number  of  students  opted  for 
a  single  braid  instead.  In  fact,  at 
one  point,  one  couldn’t  walk  down 


the  hall  without  seeing  at  least  one 
or  two  people  sporting  an  auburn- 
colored  braid,  courtesy  of  MaCray 
Huff. 

Tattoos  also  became  a  novelty 
fad,  both  the  “real”  and  the  “fake” 
varieties.  Designs  ranged  from 
icons  such  as  roses  and  butterflies 
to  skulls  and  demons.  Clothing 
styles,  as  usual,  constituted  the  ma¬ 
jor  fads.  Trends  included  Converse 
all-stars,  knee  socks,  No  Fear  shirts, 
Mary  Jane  shoes,  overalls,  clogs, 
baby-doll  dresses  and  Doc  Martens. 

But  why  take  part  in  a  short¬ 
lived  fad,  that  quickly  fades  away 
and  is  forgotton?  Well,  nothing  lasts 
forever.  And  besides,  everyone  else 
is  doing  it.

One  of  the  things  that  all  stu¬ 
dents  can’t  wait  to  do  other  than 
graduate  is  to  order  and  receive 
their  class  rings.  After  the  long 
wait,  the  class  rings  finally  arrived. 
Last  year  they,  then  sophomores, 
got  the  opportunity  to  order  their 
class  rings.  Many  decisions  needed 
to  be  made  before  the  “friendly 
Herff  Jones  man”  returned. 

There  was  an  enormous  variety 
of  stones,  designs,  and  styles  to 
choose  from.  Some  students  chose 
their  birthstone  while  others  chose 
their  favorite  stone.  Designs  on  the 
sides  of  the  class  rings  varied  from 
person  to  person,  also.  Some  chose 
a  sport  they  played  while  others 
chose  things  like  hobbies  to  place 
on  their  bands  of  pride.  Many  peo¬ 
ple  had  the  traditional  cougar  head 
and  paw  placed  on  their  rings,  also. 
Some  girls  chose  to  order  a  ring 
that  was  unlike  the  traditional. 
Each  student  tried  to  design  a  ring 
they  liked  and  represented  their 


own  personality. 

Not  only  was  the  worry  of  what 
to  put  on  their  ring,  but  also  the 
price  of  the  ring.  Every  extra  design 
costed  a  little  more.  Designs  under 
the  stone,  the  cut  of  the  stone,  and 
having  your  name  engraved  in  the 
band  meant  more  money. 

On  October  13,  the  juniors 
made  their  way  down  to  the  foot¬ 
ball  field  to  finally  end  the  wait  and 
receive  their  ring.  After  everyone 
received  their  ring,  they  partici¬ 
pated  in  the  traditional  ring¬ 
turning.  Juniors  turned  each  oth¬ 
ers’  ring  with  the  96th  turn  locking 
the  ring  and  then  the  ritual  was 
over. 

After  turning  the  rings,  everyone 
enjoyed  eating  hamburgers  and 
other  baked  foods  provided  by  the 
school  and  volunteers.  No  matter 
the  difference  between  each  per¬ 
son’s  ring,  everyone  could  agree 
that  they  liked  them.

make  the  final  turn. 


BANDS  OF  PRIDE.An  excited  group  of 
juniors  proudly  show  off  their  newly  ac¬

lord  over  the  less  privileged  underclassmen, 
who  anxiously  await  the  day  that  they  too 
will  have  a  big  shiny  ring  to  wear  on  their 
fingers.

BEHIND  THE  pffHEEL  HND 

QNtHErOHD 


[If  you  are  a  teenager,  one  of  the 
bst  important  days  of  your  life  is 
.p  day  you  get  your  driver’s  li- 
pse.  A  license  is  a  symbol  of 
jing  able  to  go  where  you  want 
d  when  you  want  without  having 
|J  worry  about  depending  on 
meone  else  for  a  ride.  Having  a 
ense  and  being  able  to  drive  to 
tool  seemed  to  be  a  lot  better 
an  having  to  ride  the  school  bus 
ery  day.  Many  people  who  still 
d  not  have  their  licenses  tried  to 
[im  rides  from  older  students  so 
ey  would  not  have  to  ride  the 
[is,  and  suffer  the  humiliation  of 
ling  forced  to  associate  with  those 


lesser  beings  known  as  “elementary 
students’’. 

“It  was  really  great  to  finally  get 
my  driver’s  license  because  it 
meant  that  I  didn’t  have  to  depend 
on  my  parents  to  take  me  where  I 
needed  to  go.  It  gave  me  a  sense  of 
freedom  because  I’m  not  relying  on 
people  anymore,”  stated  Holly  Ter¬ 
ry- 

Despite  the  fact  that  having 
your  license  has  many  advantages, 
there  are  also  many  disadvantages. 
A  great  responsibility  is  being 
placed  into  your  hands  as  a  driver. 
Not  only  are  you  responsible  for 
your  car  and  yourself,  but  also  the 


passengers  in  your  car.  Also,  your 
parents  are  constantly  asking  you  to 
run  errands  for  them,  and  so  what 
seems  like  a  newfound  freedom  can 
result  in  unexpected  burdens. 

Some  people  had  to  share  their 
cars  with  other  members  of  their 
family,  and  they  had  to  fight  with 
them  over  who  gets  to  use  the  car. 
Anyone  who  drives  a  car  has  a 
financial  responsibility  as  well.  You 
have  to  pay  for  gas,  insurance,  oil, 
etc.  Regardless  of  all  the  negative 
aspects  of  having  a  driver’s  license, 
one  thing’s  for  sure;  it  sure  beats 
having  to  be  a  ride  bum! 


DAILY  TRAFFIC  JAM.  Student  drivers 
pile  into  their  cars  and  attempt  to  exit  the 
school  parking  lot.  Doing  this  quickly  and 
easily  was  nearly  impossible,  however,  and 
many  impatient  drivers  found  themselves 
frustrated  and  irritated  when  having  to  wait 
for  what  seemed  like  hours  behind  a  line  of 
cars.

7:00  A.M.  Beep!  Beep!  The  an¬ 
noying  whine  of  your  alarm  clock 
rouses  you  from  your  slumber. 
“I’m  soo  sleepy,”  you  think.  “I’ll 
just  hit  the  snooze  button  and  sleep 
a  couple  extra  minutes.” 

7:30  A.M.  “Oh  my  gosh!  7:30! 
Man,  did  I  oversleep!  Hastily 
scrambling  out  of  bed,  you  trip 
over  your  sneakers,  banging  your 
shin  against  your  dresser,  which 
was  already  sore  from  weightlifting 
the  day  before.  As  you  pull  yourself 
up  you  realize  you  landed  on  your 
Pearl  Jam  CD,  smashing  it  to  bits. 
’’Great,”  you  say,  “What  a  way  to 
start  the  day.” 

7:35  A.M.  You  get  in  the  show¬ 
er,  only  to  have  the  water  go  ice 
cold  after  about  five  minutes.  Shiv¬ 
ering,  you  hop  out  of  the  shower 
and  throw  your  clothes  on,  search¬ 


ing  frantically  for  your  hairdryer, 
which  is  nowhere  to  be  found.  You 
finally  give  up  and  decide  you’ll 
just  have  to  sport  the  “wet  look” 
today. 

7:50  A.M.  You  head  into  the 
kitchen  to  wolf  down  a  pop-tart, 
and  your  mother  greets  you,  hands 
on  hips  and  frowning  deeply. 
“Didn’t  I  ask  you  to  put  the  dog 
out  last  night?”  she  demands.  Uh- 
oh;  you  must’ve  forgotten.  Point¬ 
ing  towards  the  basement,  she  says, 
“Now  I  suppose  you’d  like  to  go 
clean  up  the  nice  mess  he  made  in 
the  floor.”  “Great,”  you  think, 
“what  else  can  go  wrong?” 

8:00  A.M.  The  basement’s  clean 
and  you’re  ready,  so  you  grab  your 
car  keys  and  head  out  the  door. 
Two  miles  down  the  road,  you  re¬ 
alize  you  left  your  English  assign¬ 


ment  lying  on  the  dresser.  Trying 
not  to  speed,  you  hurry  back  to 
retrieve  it. 

8:15  A.M.  Back  on  the  road, 
you  find  yourself  driving  behind 
the  slowest  driver  on  earth.  You 
begin  wondering  what  you  did  to 
deserve  such  torment. 

8:37  A.M.  You  finally  arrive  at 
school,  hoping  to  get  to  class  before 
the  tardy  bell.  Sprinting  down  the 
hall,  you  reach  the  doorway  a  split 
second  after  it  rings.  You  grab  a 
seat  and  hear  your  teacher  say, 
“Class,  please  take  out  one  sheet  of 
paper;  we  will  be  having  a  pop  quiz 
on  the  capitals  of  Europe,  which 
will  count  for  half  of  your  six  weeks 
grade.” 

Some  days,  you  just  wish  you’d 
never  ever  gotten  out  of  bed.

turn  for  the  worse  when  her  classmates  tape 
her  mouth  shut  with  masking  tape  to  curb

have  bad  days  occasionally,  but  those  who 
have  to  transport  their  entire  classrooms 
from  place  to  place  every  day,  such  as  Mrs. 
Judy  Pollard,  found  that  bad  days  were 
much  more  likely  to  occur  because  ma¬

What  exactly  is  a  accident?  A 
dictionary  states  it  as  “an  unfor¬ 
tunate  occurrence  resulting  in  an 
injury  without  one’s  foresight  or 
expectation.” 

Throughout  the  year  many  stu¬ 
dents  found  themselves  in  situa¬ 
tions  they  had  neither  foreseen  nor 
expected.  Whether  it  was  when 
John  slipped  on  a  banana  peel  and 
fell  and  broke  his  arm,  or  when 
Lisa  was  doing  her  daily  jog  and 
twisted  her  ankle,  accidents  do 
happen.  During  the  year  it  was  not 
unusual  to  see  several  different  peo¬ 
ple  walking  down  the  halls  with 
crutches  or  an  arm  in  a  sling. 

Almost  any  activity  a  person 
takes  part  in  can  result  in  some 
form  of  injury.  Sometimes  while 
someone  is  playing  a  contact  sport, 
rough  play  results  in  broken  bones 
and  bruises.  Even  in  non-contact 
sports,  such  as  running,  an  athlete 
can  easily  slip  up  and  get  hurt. 
Sometimes  injury  doesn’t  even  re¬ 
quire  much  effort;  just  walking 


down  a  street,  an  accident  can  eas¬ 
ily  happen  by  stepping  off  a  curb 
and  twisting  your  ankle  or  tripping 
over  a  bump  in  the  sidewalk.  Ac¬ 
cidents  can  happen  in  the  blink  of 
an  eye. 

There  are  many  different  kinds 
of  mishaps  which  result  in  painful 
consequences.  Accidents  can  hap¬ 
pen  anywhere,  and  often  occur 
while  driving.  This  can  occur  with¬ 
out  notice  as  well;  perhaps  while 
you  are  changing  the  station  on 
your  radio,  suddenly  another  driver 
darts  out  in  front  of  you.  Or  per¬ 
haps  you  are  motoring  along  when 
suddenly  a  tree  or  building  seems 
to  appear  from  nowhere  and  strikes 
the  front  of  your  car. 

No  matter  what  the  situation, 
accidents  are  a  part  of  life.  At  some 
point  in  time,  everyone  will  ex¬ 
perience  an  unfortunate  accident. 
They  are  just  something  that  are 
not  a  planned  part  of  your  day,  so 
watch  out;  that  banana  peel  may  be 
lying  right  in  front  of  you.

tImE  keeps  on  slipping 

into  the  [FUTURE 


Think  about  today’s  modern 
conveniences  that  are  on  the  cut¬ 
ting  edge  of  high-tech;  fax  ma¬ 
chines,  digital  stereos  and  TVs,  and 
compact  discs.  Now  imagine  a  day 
when  those  items  will  be  consid¬ 
ered  dinosaurs.  Mind-blowing, 
isn’t  it? 

Modern  technology  is  progres¬ 
sing  at  such  a  rapid  rate  that  the 
average  person  can  hardly  keep  up. 
Computer  literacy  is  a  must-have 
in  today’s  society,  and  the 
“information  superhighway’’  is 
making  its  tracks  all  over  the 
world,  and  is  establishing  a  per¬ 


manent  place  for  itself.  With  these 
advancements,  information  that 
would  normally  take  hours  to  relay 
can  be  transmitted  in  a  matter  of 
seconds. 

If  we  are  already  this  advanced 
now,  then  what  will  life  be  like  in 
the  future?  Some  people  think  that 
everything  will  be  computerized, 
and  others  fear  that  humans  may 
try  to  manipulate  Mother  Nature 
too  much,  and  even  use  advanced 
technology  to  choose  what  their 
children  will  be  like.  Others  don’t 
believe  that  the  changes  in  tech¬ 
nology  will  affect  everyone ,  because 


as  they  point  out,  there  are  still 
millions  of  people  in  undeveloped 
countries  who  don’t  even  have  ad¬ 
equate  shelter,  much  less  electric¬ 
ity,  and  are  even  further  removed 
from  luxuries  such  as  computers 
and  fax  machines. 

Technological  advancements 
may  prove  to  be  purely  advan¬ 
tageous  to  humankind,  or  they 
mave  prove  to  be  pure  disaster. 
Either  way,  we’ve  advanced  too  far 
to  turn  back  now,  and  there’s  only 
one  direction  to  go;  forward.

Are  you  tired  of  doing  the  usual 
weekend  thing,  like  cruising 
around  town.  Looking  for  some¬ 
thing  to  do  different  on  the  week¬ 
end?  The  solution  may  be  by  just 
dialing  a  phone  number.  Call  Tick- 
etron  and  order  some  concert  tick¬ 
ets. 

Different  students  had  different 
preferences  of  music.  Some  people 
enjoyed  listening  to  music  varying 


from  alternative  to  country  or  rock 
to  R&B  music.  Attending  concerts 
was  a  way  to  enjoy  someone’s  fa¬ 
vorite  band  perform.  Concerts  were 
a  great  way  to  purchase  memo¬ 
rabilia  such  as  CDs,  jackets,  but¬ 
tons,  pictures,  posters,  keychains, 
and  the  most  popular  item,  t- 
shirts.  Daily  different  people  wore 
different  t-shirts  displaying  their 
favorite  performer.  T-shirts  reading 


Pearl  Jam,  Danzig,  or  even  Garth 
Brooks  were  worn  by  students. 

Concerts  were  a  way  to  hear  the 
live  version  of  some  of  their  fa¬ 
vorite  songs.  Different  bands 
toured  together  over  the  year  giv¬ 
ing  everyone  a  chance  to  see  two  or 
more  bands  at  once.  Lollapalooza 
was  held  over  the  summer  with 
many  alternative  bands  performing 
together.  The  Woodstock  1994 


was  held  also  with  different  types 
of  bands  gathering  together.  Also, 
throughout  the  year  there  were 
concerts  held  in  neighboring  cities 
such  as  Roanoke,  Charlotte,  and 
Raleigh.

progresses  to  the  ’Marvin’  stage  before  you 
know  it;  someone  who  has  in  his  posession  more 
things  that  belong  to  other  people  than  belong 
to  him.  What’s  the  best  way  to  deal  with  a

probably  haven’t  taken  much  notice  of  the  dull 
gray  lockers  lining  the  hallways,  but  chances  are 
you’ve  noticed  what’s  inside  when  they’re 
opened.  You  might  see  anything  from  teddy 
bears  to  pom-poms  to  Guns-N-Roses  posters  to 
pictures  of  friends. 

Why  spend  the  time  cutting  and  taping  and 
putting  up  all  those  decorations?  For  most, 
lockers  are  somewhat  a  room  away  from  home, 
and  so  naturally,  you  want  to  make  it  as  comfy 
as  possible.  Decorating  your  locker  was  also  a 
way  to  represent  your  individual  personality;  by 
putting  up  pictures  or  symbols  of  your  hobbies, 


(such  as  a  mini  football),  favorite  people,  (such 
as  a  Seinfeld  poster)  or  even  pictures  of  your 
pals. 

Some  people  put  things  in  their  lockers  that 
not  only  looked  good,  but  were  practical  too. 
Some  placed  mirrors  in  the  tops  of  their  lockers 
to  catch  a  quick  glimpse  of  themselves  between 
classes;  others  invested  in  locker  shelves  that 
helped  to  make  things  more  organized. 

Although  the  “extras”  that  were  added  to 
students’  lockers  weren’t  necessarily  functional, 
they  sure  helped  make  at  least  one  aspect  of 
school  life  more  bearable.

Crash.  Bump.  Stumble.  “Excuse  me!’’ 
“Sorry!”  Walking  through  the  halls  in  the 
mornings  could  sometimes  be  pretty  hectic. 
With  people  strolling  the  corridors  in  both 
directions,  and  groups  of  people  stationed  in 
practically  every  corner  and  crevice,  getting 
somewhere  in  hurry  was  not  an  option.  In  fact, 
this  was  not  even  the  goal;  the  point  was  to  stroll 
slowly,  with  a  pack  of  at  least  three  of  your 
friends,  in  order  to  look  cool  and  to  check  out 
everybody  else.  Those  who  were  less  mobile 
could  be  equally  cool,  simply  by  standing 
around,  like  the  groups  that  congregated  in  the 
corner  of  the  English  and  science  halls,  and  of 
course,  the  mighty  Seniors  who  filled  the 
“Senior  Corner.”  “I  like  to  sit  in  the  ‘Senior 
Corner’  and  relax  before  I  have  to  go  and 
attempt  the  vigorous  curriculum  of  study  hall,” 
stated  Carrie  Conner. 

Not  everyone  was  concerned  with  being 
’cool’,  however;  many  chose  not  to  make  the 
hall-walking  scene  at  all,  but  instead  went  to 
their  homeroom  class  to  work  on  homework, 
and  others  used  the  free  time  in  the  morning 


before  first  period  to  grab  juice  and  a  biscuit  in 
the  cafeteria.  Susan  Cummings  stated,  “On  my 
journey  to  school  I  like  to  stop  at  the  Panda  store 
and  get  20oz  coffee  supplement.” 

Some  students  did  not  find  the  time  to 
participate  in  the  tradition  of  walking  the  halls 
because  they  arrived  late  to  the  school.  Students 
from  Meadows  of  Dan  and  Blue  Ridge  did  not 
arrive  to  school  in  time  to  walk  the  halls  or  to 
‘hang  out’  with  their  friends.  Some  students 
arrived  so  late  they  barely  had  enough  time  to 
go  to  their  lockers  before  the  tardy  bell  rings. 
Some  students,  however,  wanted  to  get  to  school 
early  and  begin  their  rounds  of  walking  the  halls 
or  socializing.  “I  get  up  really  early  so  I  can  be 
the  first  one  at  school,”  jokingly  commented 
John  Conner. 

Walking  the  halls  or  standing  in  various 
corners  of  the  school  was  not  only  a  chance  to 
socialize  with  friends,  but  also  a  chance  to  meet 
new  people.  Maybe  just  walking  around  the 
halls  you  find  your  dream  guy  or  dream  girl  who 
you  want  to  ask  to  the  upcoming  dance.

Big  Time  Spirit 


How  much  school  spirit  do  we  actually  have? 
me  may  say  we  have  a  lot,  however  some  say 
i  don’t  have  as  much  as  we  could  have, 
uring  the  pep  rallies,  the  cheerleaders  got  the 
mlty  and  students  pumped  up  and  excited.  At 
at  point  majority  of  the  student  body  was  out 
their  seats  standing  and  cheering  along  with 
e  cheerleaders.  “In  pep  rallies  we  are  usually 
e  first  people  to  stand  up  and  make  total 
iots  of  ourselves,”  stated  Curt  Rorrer  and  Gill 
)e.  Without  this  spirited  leadership,  what 
idership  is  there.  Certain  spirited  students 
lped  pump  up  the  spirit  of  their  classmates 
d  everyone  stood  up  off  the  bleachers  and 
eered. 

Throughout  the  year  there  were  many  dif- 
:ent  kinds  of  contests  that  students  partic- 
ated  in  to  show  their  school  spirit.  The  varsity 
rls’  basketball  cheerleaders  hosted  a  contest  for 
ople  to  decorate  their  lockers  with  P.C.  Col- 
s.  Homecoming  week  also  held  many  different 
tivities  which  increased  student  participation 
d  school  spirit. 

“As  a  cheerleader  I  feel  school  spirit  is  very 


important  because  it  is  important  to  stand  be¬ 
hind  your  school  and  cheer  them  on  no  matter  if 
your  team  is  losing  by  50  points  or  winning  by 
50  points.”  stated  cheerleader  Wyshona  Law- 
son.  Other  cheerleaders  commented  on  how 
they  enjoyed  making  the  student  body  more 
excited  and  spirited.  Jennifer  Grogan  and  Shas¬ 
ta  Moricle  stated,  “Cheerleaders  help  increase 
spirit  because  they  are  the  first  ones  to  take 
initiative  to  getting  the  students  peped  up  for 
activities  and  upcoming  ballgames.”  Shasta  con¬ 
tinued  by  saying,  “I  enjoyed  being  a  cheerleader 
because  it  gave  me  a  sense  of  responsibility  and 
getting  this  school  involved  in  school  activities. 

Not  only  were  there  contests  and  pep  rallies, 
but  basketball  games,  football  games,  baseball 
games,  etc.  were  held  also  to  test  our  school 
spirit.  Student  and  faculty  members  came  out  to 
these  games  to  encourage  the  players.  Some 
students  even  travelled  to  other  schools  in  at¬ 
tempt  to  increase  the  momentum  of  the  players 
to  win.  Not  only  did  the  students’  and  cheer¬ 
leaders’  cheers  prove  that  we  had  school  spirit, 
but  the  band  helped  increase  school  spirit,  also.

UNTAMED  HAIRDO.  Mr.  Greg 
O’Bryan  realizes  that  Zach  Kreager  had  a 
very  good  reason  for  wearing  a  hat  in  class. 
The  rule  that  mandated  that  students  re¬ 
move  their  hats  upon  entering  the  classroom 
may  have  been  respectful,  but  it  also  re¬ 
sulted  in  a  lot  more  “bad  hair  days”  for 
students. 


THE  ENELEE8IB  list  OIF 

EO'ESPNCEON'TS 


Imagine  for  a  moment  you  are 
happily  chomping  on  your  favorite 
flavor  of  chewing  gum  strolling 
casually  to  class  when  you  fright¬ 
fully  realize  next  period  you  are  not 
allowed  to  chew  gum,  under  pen¬ 
alty  of  writing  your  arm  off  on 
sentences.  You  panic,  what  do  you 
do?  Eydie  Smith,  a  sophomore, 
stated,  “Chew  it  anyway  or  save  it 
for  later.”  Sean  Kreager  however 
was  more  creative  saying,  “When 
asked  what  I’m  chewing,  I’ll  casu¬ 
ally  reply,  my  lip  and  then  when 
the  teacher  is  not  looking  I’ll  swal¬ 


low  my  gum.” 

No  matter  what  the  rule  stu¬ 
dents  had  their  own  quick  ways  of 
dealing  with  them.  Andrea  Shep¬ 
pard  stated,  “You  either  obey  the 
rules  or  let  Mr.  Redden  handle  it.” 
Mr.  Redden  served  as  assistant 
principal  in  charge  of  discipline  in 
which  his  job  served  to  be  very 
busy  and  important  job. 

Students  didn’t  always  agree 
with  the  rules  at  hand  such  as 
taking  off  hats  upon  entering  class¬ 
rooms  and  the  cafeteria.  Students 
felt  that  hats  helped  them  express 


themselves  and  felt  awkward  about 
removing  them.  Other  students  felt 
that  running  down  the  halls  was  a 
better  mode  than  walking  but  for 
safety  precautions  walking  will 
probably  always  be  a  school  rule. 
The  most  awkward  rule  voiced  by 
the  students  was  no  eating  or 
drinking  in  the  cafeteria  during 
study  halls. 

Rules  proved  to  serve  a  huge 
part  of  daily  school  life  and  no 
matter  what  the  rule  students  knew 
each  and  everyone  served  it’s  own 
purpose.

IN  BROAD  VIEW.  Stephen  Walker  is 
;  easily  seen  washing  his  hands  through  the 
doorless  entrance  of  the  boys’  bathroom  on 
:  the  English  hall.  Excessive  smoking  in  this 
restroom,  which  is  against  school  rules, 


prompted  the  administration  to  remove  the 
door  to  this  bathroom  in  order  to  make 
smoking  less  feasible,  and  to  catch  offenders 
in  the  act. 


SO  CLOSE.  ..YET  SO  FAR  AWAY. 

Sweethearts  Wendy  Massey  and  Barry  Col¬

and  have  to  make  do  with  a  ’goodbye  hug’ 
instead.

Standing  in  front  of  the  mirror, 
Joe  carefully  combs  and  preens  his 
hairdo,  making  sure  every  hair  is  in 
place.  He  opens  his  bottle  of 
“Supersuave”  aftershave,  and 
pours  it  generously  in  his  palms, 
and  slaps  it  onto  his  still  hairless 
cheeks.  Taking  a  final  look  in  the 
mirror,  he  lets  out  a  satisfied  sigh. 
“Looks  like  I’m  ready  for  the  dance 
tonight.” 

School  dances  were  social  events 
that  were  gready  anticipated  by  the 
student  body.  It  was  one  of  the  few 
school  functions  that  was  planned 
specifically  for  socializing.  Dances 
were  a  great  opportunity  to  ask  that 
’special  someone’  for  a  slow  dance 
and  “get  a  little  closer”.  Or,  if  you 
liked  being  a  part  of  the  fast  track, 
you  and  your  friends  could  get  on 
the  floor  and  “get  down”.  Even  if 


you  didn’t  like  to  dance,  you  could 
always  just  “hang”  with  your  pals 
in  the  hallway. 

Students  had  varied  opinions 
about  attending  dances.  Some  peo¬ 
ple  loved  the  dances,  while  others 
looked  at  them  as  being  a  waste  of 
time.  “Dances  at  school  are  pretty 
cool,  but  11:30  P.M.  is  to  soon  to 
go  to  bed,”  stated  Tina  Marie 
Foley.  Holly  Terry  said,  “It’s  good 
for  people  who  have  nothing  better 
to  do.” 

A  wide  variety  of  music  was 
usually  played  at  the  dances,  as  the 
D.J.’s  tried  hard  to  find  something 
to  suit  everyone’s  taste.  However, 
some  people  still  were  not  satisfied. 
“I  wish  they’d  play  some  real  mu¬ 
sic,  like  some  alternative  stuff,” 
said  Ryan  Sharpe. 


IF  YOU  COULD  BE  A  MEMBER  OF  THE  OP¬ 
POSITE  SEX  FOR  ONE  DAY,  WHAT  WHAT 
YOU  DO? 

“I,  being  a  woman,  would  find  out  what  I  want  and  then  tell  men  around  the 
world,”  Matthew  Kirkpatrick. 

“Buy  a  wonderbra,”  Troy  Smart. 

“Try  to  be  just  like  my  boyfriend,  who  is  so  romantic,”  Marissa  Brim. 
“Check  out  all  the  girls  in  the  locker  rooms  and  take  pictures,”  Junior  Penn. 
“I’d  be  a  nude  aerobics  instructor,”  Brad  Lawless. 

“Smash  mail  boxes  and  rob  the  bank,”  Cynthia  Hylton. 

“Go  to  the  beauty  parlor  and  gossip,”  Sammy  Lawson. 

“Show  all  the  guys  how  to  treat  a  girl  and  how  not  to  be  a  jerk,”  Cindy 
Fulcher. 

“Get  pregnant,”  Jeremiah  Fain. 

“Get  a  sex  change,”  Kimberly  Eastman. 

“Compliment  what  a  good  looking  guy  Chris  Waller  is,”  Chris  Waller. 

“I  would  do  plenty  of  stupid  things,  like  make  fun  of  the  teachers.  I  mean,  if 
my  brother  does  these  things  he  doesn’t  get  in  trouble,”  Leanne  Mays. 
“Make  a  bet  with  every  man  that  I  knew  more  about  women  and  I’d  be  one 
rich  woman  the  next  day,”  Alex  De  La  Torre. 

“I  would  beat  up  all  the  guys  that  have  treated  me  like  dirt,”  Mandy  Garrett.

One  of  the  most  frequent  events 
that  takes  place  throughout  the 
year  is  fundraising.  This  was  a 
great  way  for  dubs  and  other  or¬ 
ganizations  to  earn  money  for  ac¬ 
tivities  and  other  things  that  was 
needed  by  the  dub.  Throughout 
the  year,  one  could  see  students 
carrying  around  order  forms  or 
large  boxes  of  candy  trying  to  sell 
these  products. 

Many  students  had  to  meet  a 
quota  of  products  to  sell.  Senior 


Beta  sold  doughnuts  and  everyone 
was  expected  to  sell  at  least  fifteen 
boxes.  Other  dubs  such  as  FBLA 
sold  Christmas  items  such  as  wrap¬ 
ping  paper.  Band  members  sold 
candy  bars,  also.  Every  dub  mem¬ 
ber  was  expected  to  participate  in 
this  annual  event.  The  eighth, 
ninth,  and  tenth  graders  went  from 
door  to  door  to  their  neighbors  and 
relatives  to  sell  magazines  and  oth¬ 
er  things.  This  money  was  added  to 
each  of  the  dasses’  treasury  to  use 


for  dass  projects  such  as  the  elev¬ 
enth  grade  dass  had  to  pay  for  the 
prom. 

Fundraising  may  have  seemed 
like  one  extra  burden  for  students 
at  the  time,  but  in  the  long  run  the 
money  helped  out  a  lot.  Fundrais¬ 
ing  was  a  easy  way  to  get  needed 
money  in  a  quick  way.  So  the  next 
time  you  have  to  participate  in  a 
fund  raiser,  just  think  it  is  helping 
you  out  more  than  you  actually 
realize.

UNEEr  thE 

influence 


They  help  steer  you  dear  of  trou¬ 
ble  and  keep  you  on  the  straight 
and  narrow.  They  expect  a  great 
deal,  but  you  relate  to  them,  so  it’s 
no  problem.  They  understand  you 
and  you  understand  them.  Every¬ 
body  has  one;  whether  it’s  a  parent, 
peer,  or  friend,  he  or  she  has  qual¬ 
ities  that  you  admire.  They  in¬ 
fluence  you  in  what  you  do  now 
and  what  you  to  do  later  in  life. 

For  some,  siblings  served  as  their 
main  source  of  influence.  “My 
brother  is  my  role  model;  I  want  to 
follow  in  his  footsteps,’’  stated 
Warren  Overby.  Chad  Bowman 
agreed,  saying  “I’d  like  to  be  like 
my  stepbrother,  because  he’s  cool.” 

Others  felt  that  their  parents  had 
the  most  influence  on  their  Eves. 
Parents  set  a  good  example  for  chil¬ 
dren  by  pushing  them  to  excel  in 


everything  they  do.  “My  biggest 
influence  is  my  father  because  be 
has  always  encouraged  me  to  do 
my  best,”  remarked  Sandy  Hines. 
Denise  Puckett  added, “My  parents 
gave  me  good  morals,  and  a  good 
attitude.” 

Friends  also  served  as  major  in¬ 
fluences  to  students.  This  was  be¬ 
cause  your  peers  experienced  many 
of  the  same  things  that  you  did, 
and  they  always  had  some  bit  of 
advice  for  you  to  use.  Jason  Moore 
responded  that  friends  had  a  major 
influence  on  him  because, “they 
have  supported  me  in  everything  I 
do.” 

No  matter  who  played  the  most 
infuential  role  in  your  life,  it’s  true 
that  everyone  needs  someone  to  lean 
on  and  to  look  up  to.

LIFE  IN 

GrEEnIE' 

LHNE 


When  the  eighth  graders  en¬ 
tered  the  high  school  they  were 
faced  with  many  changes  and  chal¬ 
lenges.  They  were  experiencing  a 
different  school  and  a  totally  dif¬ 
ferent  environment.  There  were 
changes  that  existed  from  advanc¬ 
ing  from  elementary  school  to  high 
school.  But,  the  worst  scare  was  not 
the  thought  of  being  in  a  different 
place  but  of  the  torture  of  the  up¬ 
perclassmen.  Rising  “Greenies”  are 
always  told  in  elementary  school 
how  the  older  students  always  find 
a  way  to  make  life  miserable  for 
them. 

“I  was  a  little  worried  about 
what  I  was  going  to  wear  the  first 
day  of  school,”  confessed  Misty 
Hazelwood. 

Despite  the  rumors  of  all  the 
horrible  things  the  upperclassmen 
were  supposed  to  do,  the  eighth 
graders  seemed  to  have  no  problem 
fitting  and  blending  in  with  the 
other  students.  After  the  first  week 
of  school,  the  majority  of  the  sub¬ 
freshmen  has  lost  their  fears  of  be¬ 
ing  thrown  in  a  trashcan  or  being 
sent  in  the  wrong  direction.  After 


the  first  couple  of  days  it  was  more 
of  a  matter  of  how  to  find  their 
classes  and  the  popular  corners  of 
the  school  where  students  hang  out 
with  their  friends  before  and  after 
school.  Not  only  did  they  have  to 
find  the  best  place  to  hang  out,  but 
they  also  had  to  cope  with  making 
new  friends. 

Many  people  agreed  that  they 
were  nervous  about  going  into  a 
school  that  was  larger  than  they 
were  used  to,  and  of  course,  there 
are  more  people.  Joni  Dellenback 
said,  “I  was  nervous  mainly  be¬ 
cause  there  are  so  many  more  peo¬ 
ple  and  the  school  is  much  larger 
than  my  elementary  school.” 

Some  of  the  “Greenies”  may 
have  been  lucky  and  escaped  the 
“Greenie  Torture”;  however,  oth¬ 
ers  were  not  so  fortunate.  Some 
were  sent  to  the  library  when  they 
wanted  to  go  to  their  math  class. 
Despite  some  of  these  bad  expe¬ 
riences,  the  eighth  grade  class 
proved  that  they  had  what  it  took 
to  overcome  the  upperclassmen  tor¬ 
ture. 


NOW  I  KNOW  WHAT  A  SARDINE 
FEELS  LIKE.  As  most  eighth  graders 
found,  it  was  easy  to  find  themselves  lost  in 
the  crowded  corridors  of  the  school.  More 
often  than  not,  sub-freshmen’s  stature  made 
them  feel  as  though  they  were  in  a  land  of 
giants.

TeacherS  kno™  Ho™  to 


UaE  time  JSIbELY 


Ok,  so  it  is  true  after  all.  Some 
teachers  do  actually  have  a  little 
extra  time  to  use  up.  Many  people 
think  that  since  teachers  spend  all 
day  at  school,  they  run  straight 
home  and  prop  their  feet  up  on  the 
good  ol’  footstool.  Well,  many  of 
us  are  wrong. 

“I  enjoy  reading,  shopping,  I 
love  to  shop,  and  watching  foot¬ 
ball,  especially  the  Redskins  and 
the  Bills.  I  just  relax  and  chill  out,” 
said  Mrs.  Debbie  Blackwell,  who 
teaches  science.  Besides  all  of  Mrs. 
Blackwell’s  favorite  activities,  she  is 
a  mother  and  also  helps  with  JV 
cheerleading. 


Mrs.  Mary  Alice  Hayes  can  back 
anybody  up  on  the  fact  that  moth¬ 
erhood  is  her  big  job.  ‘‘I  used  to 
coach,  and  that  took  up  a  lot  of  my 
time.  Now  I  enjoy  spending  my 
spare  time  with  my  kids,  Bryan 
and  Ashlie.  I  play  with  them,  cook, 
and  bake.  I  really  enjoy  baking.” 

Mr.  Brian  Turman,  physical  ed¬ 
ucation  teacher,  and  coach  took  his 
athletic  ability  outside  of  the  school 
for  his  spare  time  activities.  During 
the  summer,  Mr.  Turman  served  as 
a  lifeguard  at  Myrtle  Beach,  SC.  ‘‘I 
enjoy  skiing,  swimming,  and  base¬ 
ball.  My  favorite  baseball  teams  are 
the  Dodgers  and  Philadelphia,” 


said  Mr.  Turman. 

Mrs.  Margaret  Vernon,  office 
secretary,  said  she  ‘‘enjoys  cross- 
stitch  or  other  types  of  crafts.” 

Mrs.  Cleo  George  likes  calmer 
activities.  ‘‘I  like  to  read,  walk,  and 
I’m  very  active  in  my  church 
group,”  said  Mrs.  George,  head 
receptionist  for  the  office. 

Mr.  Stephen  Henderson,  did  not 
have  very  much  spare  time.  ‘‘I  nev¬ 
er  have  spare  time,  what  little  I  do 
have  I  usually  read  or  try  to  keep 
my  two  acre  yard  mowed.  In  the 
winter  I  like  to  ski,  so  I  look  for¬ 
ward  to  snow  days.” 

Mr.  George  Rigney,  English 


teacher,  said,  “I  take  care  of  my 
wolf.” 

Mr.  Mike  Weber  said,  ”  I  hunt 
or  just  take  walks  in  the  woods, 
and  watch  the  weather  channel.” 
The  weather  channel  was  a  good 
channel  for  Mr.  Weber  to  watch 
since  he  taught  Earth  science. 

And,  of  course,  there  are  always 
those  who  enjoy  natural,  quieter 
activities.  ‘‘When  it’s  warm,  I  en¬ 
joy  working  around  the  house  or 
working  in  my  flowers.  During  the 
winter,  I  make  quilts,”  said  Mrs. 
Judy  Pollard.

director  Cindy  Terry  and  daughter,  Shan¬ 
non,  share  a  bailgame  together  at  Patrick 


County  High  School.  Many  different  faculty 
members  enjoyed  doing  several  activities 
with  their  children  after  school  hours.  Mrs. 


Terry  and  Shannon  both  enjoyed  spending 
quality  time  together.  Many  students  en¬ 
joyed  these  ballgames  as  well.

Although  teaching  is  job  num¬ 
ber  one  for  most  teachers,  many 
teachers  have  turned  their  hobbies 
into  second  jobs  for  extra  income. 

Mr. Claude  Hobson,  librarian, 
said,  “I  enjoy  my  job  and  the  extra 
money;  it’s  totally  different  from 
what  I  do  at  school.  I  work  as  a 
Certified  Nursing  Assistant  and  see 
how  others  make  a  living.  It  gives 
me  a  feeling  that  there  are  other 
things  I  can  do  and  profit  from.” 

Guidance  counselor  Mrs. Mary 
Fields  said,  ‘‘When  I’m  working 
on  the  details  and  painting,  I  have 
to  concentrate  so  much  I  have  to 
block  everything  else  out  and  it 
makes  me  focus.  It’s  a  stress  re¬ 
liever.”  Mrs.  Fields  makes  and  sells 
statuettes  crafted  from  crushed  pe¬ 
cans. 

Mr.  Stephen  Henderson,  spon¬ 
sor  of  The  Cougar  Review,  said,  ‘‘I 
always  carry  a  camera  around  so  I 
can  attempt  to  capture  different 
student  activities  to  put  in  the  pa¬ 
per.  In  an  effort  to  strengthen  stu¬ 
dents  interaction  in  the  commu¬ 
nity.” 

For  Mrs.  Joyce  Hutson- Wray,  art 
teacher,  many  extra  jobs  headed 
her  way  after  school  hours.  Mrs. 


Hutson- Wray  is  an  Art  Instructor 
at  Patrick  Henry  Community  Col¬ 
lege,  a  freelance  ESPN,  a  furniture 
designer,  and  a  producing  artist. 
‘‘As  an  artist,  I  feel  a  need  to  be 
continuously  creating;  having  di¬ 
verse  outlets  allows  me  to  do  this,” 
Mrs.  Hutson- Wray  said. 

Ms.  Lorna  Dean  works  with 
woodwork  after  school.  ‘‘I  picked 
up  woodworking  from  my  dad  be¬ 
cause  he  was  a  woodworker.  I 
learned  most  of  it  from  him.  I  also 
learned  you  can  make  some  extra 
money  by  doing  this.  It  is  a  good 
soothing  experience  as  well,”  said 
Ms.  Dean. 

As  you  can  see,  teachers  did  not 
have  any  problem  finding  some¬ 
thing  to  do  with  their  spare  time. 
In  fact,  during  their  spare  time, 
many  of  them  picked  up  some 
extra  cash.  Teachers  are  like  stu¬ 
dents  in  more  ways  than  one. 
Sometimes  they  need  a  little  extra 
time  as  well. 

So  students,  the  next  time  you 
see  one  of  your  favorite  teachers 
doing  something  with  their  spare 
time  just  give  them  a  smile  and 
say,  ‘‘Good  Job!”

OH  PLEASE!!  Susan  Powell  cannot  believe 
all  the  stress  the  yearbook  can  cause.  Susan 
worked  alongside  with  Gill  Coe  on  the 
Academics  section  of  the  yearbook.  With  all 
the  other  classes  that  yearbook  and  jour¬ 
nalism  students  were  involved  in,  the  stress 
of  deadlines  could  sometimes  be  over¬ 
whelming.  Susan  commented,  “Yearbook 
was  pretty  stressful  because  it  was  hard  to 
get  to  the  computer,  and  because  if  you 
missed  a  deadline,  it  made  the  book  late, 
and  all  your  friends  would  hate  you  for  the 
rest  of  your  life  because  they  had  to  come 
back  to  school  to  get  their  yearbooks.  Yeah  I 
know  this  IS  a  run-on  sentence!!’’ 


"Tills  is  my  third

lust  write;  I  get

“I  need  a  computer  please!” 

‘‘Are  we  going  to  meet  this 
deadline?” 

If  you  ever  decided  to  walk  by 
the  MacLab  or  the  Annual  Staff 
room,  you  may  have  heard  a  these 
frantic  lines. 

For  the  most  part  annual  staff 
was  considerably  different  this  year. 
Last  year,  all  annual  staff  members 
had  yearbook  together.  This  year, 
because  of  scheduling  conflicts, 
there  were  yearbook  classes  all  day. 
This  resulted  in  some  major  prob¬ 
lems. 

‘‘I  hated  the  fact  that  our  year¬ 
book  class  was  split  into  different 


periods  because  nobody  can  imag¬ 
ine  how  hard  it  is  to  produce  a 
consistent  yearbook  without  seeing 
your  partner  for  days.  Notes  on  the 
desk  just  don’t  cut  it,”  said  Susan 
Powell. 

Junior  Ryan  Vaughn  comment¬ 
ed,  “Yearbook  was  a  difficult  job 
this  year  because  of  the  split  up 
classes.  I  was  fortunate  that  my 
partner,  Misty  Hazlewood,  had 
yearbook  the  same  class  period  that 
I  did.” 

“Producing  the  yearbook  went 
better  than  I  thought  it  would.  I 
was  stunned  when  I  found  out  that 
we  were  going  to  be  split  up.  It’s 


very  hard  collecting  money  when 
half  of  the  class  isn’t  in  there.  It’s  a 
good  thing  that  we  got  to  have  staff 
meetings  like  we  did,”  said  Brandi 
Patterson. 

Yearbook  sales  were  also  dif¬ 
ferent  this  year.  For  the  first  three 
hundred  students  who  purchased  a 
yearbook,  a  scratch  card  was  given 
out.  The  students  could  win  their 
name  stamped  on  their  book  for 
free  or  a  free  CD.  At  the  end  of  the 
sale,  all  scratch  cards  were  sent  to 
Taylor  Publishing  for  a  grand  prize 
drawing. 

Journalism  students  were  ready 
to  roll  again  this  year.  The  Cougar 


Review  staff  had  more  members 
and  new  equipment  to  work  with. 
Mr.  Stephen  Henderson  sponsored 
the  Cougar  Review. 

Senior  Randy  Scruggs  was  on 
the  Cougar  Review  staff  for  his 
third  year.  “This  is  my  third  year 
of  journalism.  I’m  enjoying  it  be¬ 
cause  I  get  to  do  more  than  just 
write.  I  get  to  design  and  lay  out 
the  paper,”  said  Randy. 

Both  the  Annual  Staff  and  the 
members  of  the  Cougar  Review 
learned  a  lot  about  responsibility 
and  even  more  about  meeting 
deadlines.

Competitions  Allow  for 
Academic  Growth 


The  Math,  Literature,  Science, 
and  Social  Studies  teams  strived  for 
academic  excellence  as  they  com¬ 
peted  throughout  the  year  in  their 
chosen  fields. 

An  average  of  about  seven  com¬ 
petitions  were  held  annually,  with  a 
match  consisting  of  a  directed  and 
a  toss-up  round.  The  emcee  asked 
each  team  ten  questions,  and  the 
team  was  allowed  to  confer  and 
then  the  team  captain  gave  the 
answer.  In  the  toss-up  round,  the 
contestant  must  beat  his/her  op¬ 
ponent  to  the  buzzer  for  the  point. 

The  math  team,  supervised  by 
Mrs.  Mary  Jane  Taylor  and  led  by 


captain  Vic  Deekens,  had  a  pro¬ 
gressive  year.  According  to  Lori 
Perry  and  Vic  Deekens,  “It 
(academic  team)  was  probably 
harder  for  the  newer  members  than 
the  older  members,  but  we  covered 
questions  that  we  had  been  asked 
before,  so  we  could  think  on  our 
feet  so  to  speak.” 

The  literature  team  was  coached 
by  Mr.  Greg  O’Bryan  and  Ms. 
Pamela  Hopkins  and  led  under 
team  captain  Susan  Hopkins.  A 
typical  practice  consisted  of  dis¬ 
cussing  and  analyzing  literature. 

Coached  by  Mr.  Ray  Smith,  the 
social  studies  team  concentrated  on 


current  events  and  studied  various 
texts  in  order  to  be  able  to  compete 
with  other  schools.  Although 
events  that  happened  in  the  past 
were  very  important,  current 
events,  whether  politically  or  so¬ 
cially  focused,  were  just  as  impor¬ 
tant. 

The  science  team,  under  the  su¬ 
pervision  of  Mr.  Arnie  Kloock  def¬ 
initely  had  their  work  cut  out  for 
them.  Covering  areas  such  as  bi¬ 
ology,  chemistry,  and  physics  (all  at 
the  same  time!),  the  science  team 
competitions  were  often  very  stress¬ 
ful  events.  Junior  Ryan  Pilson  had 
only  one  complaint  about  the  sci¬ 


ence  team,  ‘‘I  enjoyed  being  a 
member  of  the  science  team,  but  it 
hard  because  you  have  to  know 
about  so  many  areas  at  once.  I 
mean,  you  have  to  know  biology, 
chemistry,  and  physics  all  at  once. 
It  can  be  frustrating  when  all  of  this 
information  is  combined.” 

Each  member  of  the  academic 
teams  learned  that  competition  can 
be  an  exciting  and  somewhat  frus¬ 
trating  form  of  learning.  However, 
in  the  long  run,  the  experience  that 
each  member  gained  outweighed 
all  of  the  hard  work. 


AH,  THAT  REFRESHING  FEELING.  lunch.  Lori,  Renee  and  Cindy  were  both 

Lori  Perry,  Renee  Pendelton,  and  Cindy  members  of  an  Academic  team.

"Science  team  was 
hard  becase  you 
had  to  know  all  the 
areas  of  science. 

Practice  was 
especially  hard 
because  you  had 
to  review  Physics, 
Chemistry, 
Biology,  etc.  all  at

"Everyone  on  the

them  after  school  or  during  meets.  The 
sponsors  for  Academic  teams  were  Mr. 
O’Bryan,  Literature;  Mrs.  Mary  Jane  Taylor, 
Math;  Mr.  Arnie  Kloock,  Science,  and  Mr.

extra  things  learned  during  practice.

Health  Careers, 
New  Horizons 
On  Target  for  Future 


Twenty  health  career  members 
net  every  third  Thursday  of  the 
nonth  in  room  144.  Upon  passing 
his  room,  one  could  hear  voices 
banning,  laughing,  and  chatting 
xcitedly  about  upcoming  events. 
Jnder  the  direction  of  Ms.  Amy 
Marshall  health  career  members 
tayed  busy  participating  in  various 
ctivities.  From  volunteering  their 
ervices  at  the  blood  mobile  to  do¬ 
tting  to  the  Red  Cross  and  local 
=scue  squad,  members  kept  their 
ands  full  aiming  to  be  more  than 
ist  the  average  club.  Members 
ven  helped  out  in  their  school  and 
ommunity  by  providing  Hallow¬ 


een  treats  for  T.M.H.  classes  and 
teachers,  and  recycling  their  used 
paper  and  aluminum  products. 

President  Alicia  DeHart,  vice 
president  Sarah  Dean,  and  secretary 
Kim  Culler  kept  the  club  active 
and  organized.  Members  went  on 
numerous  field  trips  to  such  places 
as  the  hospital  and  nursing  home 
and  stayed  involved  in  many  sea¬ 
sonal  activities.  A  scrapbook  was 
kept  to  summarize  the  accomplish¬ 
ments  and  significant  events 
throughout  the  year.  Field  trips 
provided  a  fun  break  from  the  dai¬ 
ly  routine  of  classes  and  also  al¬ 
lowed  students  the  opportunity  to 


see  how  real  life  is. 

Under  the  supervision  of 
Mrs. Melinda  Comer,  and  Mrs. 
Amy  Short,  New  Horizons  learned 
that  cooperation  and  hard  work 
were  major  contributions  in  a  suc¬ 
cessful  club.  “New  Horizons  was 
created  for  the  students  enrolled  in 
the  EMH  program.  They  enjoy 
making  crafts  for  gifts,”  comment¬ 
ed  Mrs.  Melinda  Comer.  Along 
with  crafts,  students  made  friend¬ 
ships  that  could  last  throughout  a 
lifetime. 

Members  participated  in  various 
activities  such  as  making  Christ¬ 
mas  crafts  and  decorations  to  trim 


trees.  They  also  made  key  chains, 
paintings,  and  placemats.  New 
Horizons’  members  even  went  on 
field  trips  such  as  a  visit  to  Old 
Salem.  Officers  Jason  Harris,  pres¬ 
ident  and  Angie  Brown,  secretary, 
both  shared  the  job  of  keeping  the 
club  on  task  and  effecient. 

Mrs.  Amy  Short  said, “Our  club 
in  lieu  of  environmental  awareness 
collects  paper  and  newspapers  for 
recycling.  We  also  make  gifts  from 
what  the  environment  has  to  of¬ 
fer.”

V.I.C.A.  Helps 
Build  Tomorrows 


VICA,  Vocational  Industrial 
Clubs  of  America,  was  a  club  that 
allowed  students  to  get  hands  on 
experience  and  prepare  them  for  an 
immediate  occupation  after  com¬ 
pletion  of  high  school.  Classes  such 
as  cosmetology,  electronics,  auto 
mechanics,  and  building  trades 
were  offered  on  a  daily  basis  with 
some  classes  lasting  up  to  three 
peroids  of  the  school  day  depend¬ 
ing  on  level  of  skill  being  per¬ 
formed.  This  extended  time  period 
allowed  students  to  have  plenty  of 
time  to  get  all  of  the  in-class  ex¬ 
ercises  completed  (especially  those 
that  the  students  received  money 


for). 

VICA,  a  club  of  approximately 
sixty  members  met  on  regular  club 
days  in  the  gym  because  of  the  size 
of  the  club.  The  group  met  only 
three  times  as  a  whole  and  split  up 
into  indiviual  sections  for  remain¬ 
ing  meetings  of  the  school  year. 
Club  advisors  Mrs.  Helen  Boyd, 
Mr.  Bruce  Dollarhite,  Mr.  Dale 
Steele,  and  Mr.  Phillip  Steagall 
worked  hard  all  year  to  make  sure 
the  club  stayed  active.  Although 
teachers  served  as  advisors,  meet¬ 
ings  were  carried  out  by  club  of¬ 
ficers  Derrick  Bullins,  president, 
Cindy  Stowe,  vice  president, 


Tabitha  Edwards,  secre- 
tary/treasurer. 

VICA  was  a  very  active  club 
participating  in  many  events 
throughout  the  year.  Lollipop  sales 
was  their  main  fundraiser  and  all 
members  were  asked  to  participate. 
Community  services  were  also 
completed.  The  club  cleaned  up 
the  area  with  an  Adopt-A- 
Highway  project  in  which  they 
were  responsible  for  picking  up 
trash.  This  taught  students  respon¬ 
sibility,  and  it  allowed  them  to  get 
a  good  workout.  An  educational 
booth  was  placed  in  the  fair,  al¬ 
lowing  the  people  at  the  fair  to  see 


what  VICA  was  all  about.  Club 
members  made  a  trip  to  GW  Dan¬ 
ville  for  the  Annual  Fall  Rally  in 
which  club  members  were  given 
the  oppurtunity  to  see  what  other 
clubs  from  around  the  state  ac¬ 
complished  during  the  year.  Be¬ 
cause  this  was  an  incentive,  stu¬ 
dents  worked  even  harder  to 
compete  with  various  other  schools. 

Did  you  ever  stop  to  think  why 
you  joined  a  certain  club?  Lisa 
did,  and  she  gave  a  very 
reason  for  why  she  joined  VICA:  ” 
I  joined  VICA  because  they 
the  best  candy  sales-  ’Life 
lollipops’.”

The  dub  focused  on  family  skills 
and  all  aspects  of  managing  a 
home.  In  addition  to  this,  the 
members  worked  on  improving  the 
community.  One  of  the  primary 
projects  was  the  “Adopt-a- 
Grandparent”  program  at  the 
nursing  home,  as  well  as  volunteer 
work  with  the  Reynolds  Home¬ 
stead;  members  went  to  the  home¬ 
stead  to  decorate  for  Christmas.

and  served  as  hostesses.  Just  before 
the  two  week  Christmas  vacation, 
the  dub  purchased  a  Christmas 
tree,  decorated  it  with  homemade 
decorations,  and  placed  it  in  the 
cafeteria  for  the  whole  school  to 
enjoy.  Another  project  was  to  pro¬ 
mote  recyding  at  school  and  at 
home.  In  coalition  with  this  proj¬ 
ect,  the  dub  hosted  guest  speakers 
in  October  and  November  who 
spoke  on  the  importance  of  re¬ 
cycling  on  a  global  basis.  Even  with 
their  busy  schedule,  members  of 
FHA  also  had  time  for  some  fun 
projects.  They  had  a  swim  party 
and  a  hot  dog  cookout  last  fall.  The 


group  also  went  bowling  in  No¬ 
vember. 

FHA  was  a  dub  that  prevailed 
throughout  the  entire  county. 
Winning  a  blue  ribbon  for  their 
recycling  project,  FHA  was  proud 
to  represent  the  school  at  the  Pat¬ 
rick  County  Agricultural  Fair.  The 
dub  was  also  represented  in  the 
Christmas  parade.  During  the 
month  of  January,  posters  were 
made  to  promote  recycling  and 
FHA  week. 

FHA  officers  were:  president,

Cobb;  treasurer,  India  Lawson;  re¬ 
porter,  Lindy  Penn;  historian, 


Heather  Crews,  and  corresponding 
secretary,  Michelle  Sowers. 

Tarongular  Redd,  president  of 
FHA,  had  this  to  say  about  her 
experience  in  the  dub,  “I’ve  been 
in  FHA  for  three  years  and  we’ve 
learned  to  do  new  interesting 
things  and  I  like  working  with 
Mrs.  Conner  and  Ms.  Coffey.’’ 

The  rewards  that  the  members 
received  outweighed  all  of  the  hard 
work  that  each  member  had  to  put 
forth.  The  sense  of  fulfillment,  es¬ 
pecially  when  the  students  went  to 
visit  the  nursing  home,  was  some¬ 
thing  that  they  can  remember  dur¬ 
ing  their  high  school  careers.

I  REALLY  ENJOY  THIS.  FHA  members 
listen  attentively  to  their  guest  speaker.  Sev¬ 
eral  dubs  invited  speakers  to  come  in  and 
share  their  experiences  with  dub  members. 


FHA 


Future  Farmers  of  America,  a 
dub  focusing  on  students  whose 
interests  lie  in  the  areas  of  cul¬ 
tivating  crops,  managing  a  farm, 
and  becoming  a  source  of  liveli¬ 
hood  for  the  people  of  the  world, 
worked  with  determination  to  pre¬ 
pare  students  for  farming  of  the 
future.  Because  of  this  task,  stu¬ 
dents  and  the  teachers  affilitated 
with  FFA  cooperated  in  a  fashion 
that  allowed  them  to  make  the 
most  of  their  dub  time  together. 

One  of  the  activities  in  which 
the  students  participated  was  a 
fruit  sales  project.  This  allowed  the 
dub  to  earn  some  extra  money,  but

it  also  proved  as  a  source  of  ex¬ 
perience  for  the  future  farmers  to 
learn  about  sales  tactics  and  how  to 
make  the  sales  more  profitable. 

The  dub  members  also  had  the 
opportunity  to  partidpate  in  the 
annual  FFA  banquet,  six  curric¬ 
ulum  related  contests,  and  the  FFA 
state  convention.  Combined  with 
these  activities,  hands  on  experi¬ 
ence  taught  students  several  val¬ 
uable  lessons  about  not  only  farm¬ 
ing,  but  life  in  general.  Sophomore 
Denise  Puckett  had  this  to  say 
about  her  participation  in  FFA,  “I 
learned  a  lot  about  my  goals  for  the 
future  in  FFA  and  how  I  can  realize 


these  goals.” 

Officers  for  FFA  were:  president, 
Denise  Puckett;  vice-president,  Ja¬ 
son  Shough;  secretary,  Kevin  Shel¬ 
ton;  treasurer,  Katie  Frisco;  report¬ 
er,  Jamie  Hopkins  and  sentinel, 
Barbara  Goad. 

Seventy-five  dub  members  met 
in  the  cafeteria  every  dub  day.  The 
dub  often  had  guest  speakers  and 
used  club  time  to  discuss  fund¬ 
raisers,  projects,  and  field  trips. 

Advisors  to  the  Future  Farmers 
of  America  were  Mr.  Kenneth  Cox, 
Mr.  Wendell  Terry,  and  Mr.  David 
Young.  These  teachers  made  sure 
that  the  club  meetings  were  held  in 


an  orderly  manner  and  organized 
all  of  the  fundraising  projects. 

Nineth-grader  Robbie  Knight 
commented  on  what  FFA  meant  to 
him,  ‘‘FFA  was  fun  because  we 
participated  in  many  school  activ¬ 
ities.” 

Benet  Lipsocomb  shared  her 
views  on  how  she  felt  that  being  in 
FFA  has  improved  her  life; 
‘‘Joining  the  FFA  made  me  realize 
that  the  organization  isn’t  just  for 
people  who  love  to  farm,  it  is  also 
for  people  who  love  being  part  of 
the  wonders  of  Nature.” 


REPEAT  THAT  AGAIN  PLEASE.  Jason 
Shough  listens  during  a  FFA  meeting.  FFA 


students  did  numerous  activites  relating  to 
nature  throughout  the  year. 


"Joining  the  FFA

love  to  farm,  it  is

to  friends,  Shannon  Clark,  Tonya  Barbour, 
and  Brandi  Patterson  during  Accounting

members  not  only  participated  in  numerous 
business  classes  at  the  school,  but  they  par¬ 
ticipated  in  the  community  as  well.  They 
hosted  a  talent  show  in  March,  held  a  dance, 
and  traveled  to  other  schools  to  participate 
in  competidons  relating  to  business.  Busi¬ 
ness  classes  were  not  only  interesting,  but 
helpful  to  several  student’s  future  careers  as 
well. 


COME  ON  AND  WORK  WITH  ME 
COMPUTER!  FBLA  member  Chris 
Sutphin  prepares  to  type  in  a  problem  on 
the  computer.  Computers  were  around  the 
school  in  numerous  places,  and  helped  stu¬ 
dents  and  teachers  alike.  The  new  computer 
lab  was  located  on  the  new  hall  added  to  the 
math  wing  over  last  summer.  This  com¬ 
puter  lab  was  available  to  students  and 
teachers. 

The  MacLab  helped  the  Cougar  Review 
staff  prepare  the  student  newspaper.  The 
computers  available  in  the  vocational  de¬ 
partment  of  PCHS  helped  students  better 
prepare  for  their  field  of  study  in  business 
careers.

Future  Business  Leaders  of 
America,  or  FBLA  had  many 
members,  and  under  the  leadership 
of  the  dutiful  officers  had  quite  a 
productive  year.  Along  with  learn¬ 
ing  more  about  business  tech¬ 
niques,  FBLA  also  spent  an  ex¬ 
clusive  amount  of  time  planning 
various  activities  working  in  the 
community.  Club  members  stayed 
active  with  projects  such  as  fund¬ 
raisers,  a  fair  booth,  and  work¬ 
shops.  The  workshops  enabled  stu¬ 
dents  to  grasp  a  better  knowledge 
of  the  many  fields  dealing  with 
business  applications  offered  after 
high  school.

Facing  Challenges 
Of  Today 


There  were  many  other  plans 
such  as  a  banquet,  Project  Ask,  a 
talent  show,  the  Spring  regional 
Competition  at  Ferrum,  and 
dances.  FBLA  also  had  guest 
speakers  discuss  their  jobs  and  dif¬ 
ferent  aspects  of  the  business  pro¬ 
fessions  and  what  qualities  were 
needed  to  become  a  successful 
business  person.  These  ambitious 
students  led  under  Judy  Pollard 
and  Paula  Reynolds,  proved  that 
they  were  ready  to  excel  in  the 
business  professions  they  chose, 
and  that  FBLA  gave  them  a  great 
start. 

FBLA  member  Sherry  Vance 


said,  “The  Future  Business  Leaders 
of  America  is  a  fantastic  club. 
FBLA  members  are  very  dedicated 
in  community  activities.  FBLA 
club  is  fun,  interesting,  and  very 
useful  in  the  future.  Being  in  FBLA 
allows  you  many  chances  at  bet¬ 
tering  yourself  in  a  specific  area 
during  competitions.  I  have  been 
an  FBLA  member  for  three  years 
and  advise  everyone  to  join  the 
Future  Business  Leaders  of  Amer¬ 
ica.” 

FBLA  President  Teri  Clark  said, 
“Being  active  in  the  Future  Busi¬ 
ness  Leaders  of  America  gives  one 
an  oppurtunity  not  only  to  extend 


his/her  talents,  but  to  help  others 
who  are  less  fortunate.  We  center 
many  of  our  activities  around 
Community  involvement  that  pro¬ 
duce  personal  rewards.” 

Some  of  the  classes  that  students 
could  take  to  be  in  FBLA  were 
Business  Computer  Applications, 
Keyboarding,  Business  Economics 
and  Law,  Accounting,  Accounting 
Computer  Applications,  Office 
Systems,  Word  Processing,  and 
Marketing.  Each  of  these  classes 
taught  students  various  business 
skills  that  could  not  only  be  used  in 
everyday  life,  but  in  future  careers 
as  well. 


LISTEN  UP!  April  Johnson,  Shasta  Mor-

Students  Head  Out 
Into  the  Real  World 


O 


“Thank  you  for  shopping  at 
Lowes.’’ 

If  you  ever  went  into  Lowes 
Foods,  you  may  have  seen  several 
students  working  there  from  Pat¬ 
rick  County  High  School.  Some 
may  have  been  working  after 
school,  but  others  were  probably 
part  of  the  working  team,  known 
as  DECA.  Yes,  it’s  true.  Even 
teenagers  have  to  work  for  a  living. 
Well,  actually  most  students 
worked  mainly  for  extra  cash,  but 
many  students  ventured  out  into 
the  real  world  at  the  ripe  age  of 
eighteen  and  got  their  own  apart¬ 
ments. 


DECA  students  participated  in 
one  class  of  marketing  and  in  re¬ 
turn  were  able  to  leave  school  early 
in  order  to  work.  DECA  was  made 
up  of  approximately  48  members 
in  the  eleventh  and  twelfth  grades. 
These  students’  jobs  ranged  from 
grocery  stores  to  convenience  stores 
and  even  a  little  part  time  help  at 
flower  nurseries  and  the  local  hos¬ 
pitals.  Not  only  did  these  students 
earn  some  extra  cash,  but  they  also 
had  an  experience  that  will  last  a 
lifetime.  School  can  be  more  than 
just  an  academic  experience;  it  can 
also  become  the  foundation  for  a 
satisfying  career. 


DECA’s  sponsor  was  Mr.  Leon 
Pollard.  His  duties  were  to  insure 
that  all  of  the  workers  maintained 
good  standing  in  their  various  ca¬ 
reer  opportunities.  In  addition  to 
Mr.  Pollard’s  leadership,  the  of¬ 
ficers  of  DECA  were  committed  to 
bringing  this  group  of  students  to¬ 
gether  in  an  orderly  fashion.  Of¬ 
ficers  were  Cora  Beasley,  president; 
Lori  Wood,  vice  president;  Tina 
Goad,  secretary;  Judi  Bowman, 
treasurer;  Samantha  Roberts,  par- 
linmentarian;  and  Reagan  Carter, 
reporter. 

DECA  students  took  a  field  trip 
to  American  Furniture  in  Novem¬ 


ber  and  competed  in  the  District  6 
DECA  competition  at  Liberty  Fair 
Mall  in  Martinsville  in  February. 

Senior  Jamie  Havens  had  this  to 
say  about  DECA,  “I  really  enjoyed 
DECA  this  year  because  it  gave  me 
a  chance  to  experience  the  real 
working  world.  I  also  got  out  of 
school  early  and  earned  extra  mon¬ 
ey  for  the  things  I  needed.” 

The  experience  DECA  allowed 
students  proved  that  students 
could  do  well  in  school  and  carry  on 
a  huge  responsibility  for  them¬ 
selves. 


LOOK  AT  THIS.  Tammy  Martin  and  afternoon  activities  were  cut  short,  while 
Brent  Corns  look  at  each  others  class  rings.  others  were  not. 

Being  a  member  of  DECA  meant  that  some

OH  MY  GOSH!  WHAT  CAN  I 
DRAW?  Art  club  member  Alex  Boyd  tries 
to  get  her  artistic  ability  to  come  to  her 
mind  as  she  sits  in  art  class.  Many  Art  club 
members  expressed  their  artistic  abilities  in 
and  out  of  class.  Art  students  painted  the 
‘Senior  Wall'  outside  in  front  of  the  school, 
made  face  molding  during  class,  and  hung 
their  drawings  outside  the  art  room  for 
students  to  admire.

Creative  Minds 
Produce  Colorful  Images 


Do  you  have  a  hidden  artistic 
talent  that  can  only  be  fully  realized 
through  your  interaction  with  oth¬ 
ers  riding  on  the  same  wave  of 
thought?  If  you  answered  a  re¬ 
sounding  “Yeah,  sure!”,  then  may¬ 
be  you  should  think  about  joining 
the  art  club. 

With  40  imaginative  club 
members,  the  art  club  participated 
in  activities  that  allowed  the  stu¬ 
dents  to  have  more  practice  at  cre¬ 
ating  art  by  beautifying  not  only 
the  school  but  the  community.  The 
members  went  on  a  field  trip  to 
SECCA  in  Greensboro  in  April.  In 
addition  to  this,  a  community  art 


donation  project  was  completed  in 
which  various  students  created 
works  of  art  and  donated  them  to 
businesses  around  the  area  such  as 
banks  for  display,  purchase,  or  re¬ 
tail.  Another  project  was  the  res¬ 
toration  of  the  1994  sign/wall.  A 
trip  to  the  Ayers-Kreh  tree  farm 
was  planned,  and  students  pur¬ 
chased  a  tree  that  they  decorated 
during  the  December  meeting. 

The  main  project  for  the  club 
was  the  Youth  Art  Month  in 
March.  The  members  colored  the 
sidewalks  surrounding  the  school, 
held  a  kite  flying  contest,  tatooed 
their  bodies  (temporarily  of 


course),  and  died  their  hair.  They 
also  discussed  the  possibility  of  sell¬ 
ing  pop-tarts  and  coffee  as  a  fund¬ 
raiser. 

Officers  for  the  art  club  were: 
Pam  Alexander,  Stephanie  Fain, 
and  Gill  Coe. 

Other  students  hoped  they 
made  contributions  that  would  last 
throughout  school  history  by  being 
part  of  the  art  club.  This  was  es¬ 
pecially  meaningful  to  the  seniors. 
“Since  I’m  a  senior,  I  hope  this 
year’s  art  club  will  leave  something 
behind  that  will  be  remembered,” 
stated  senior  Lori  Perry.  Art  club 
wasn’t  the  only  group  of  people 


who  painted  portraits  of  everyday 
life.  The  photography  club,  spon¬ 
sored  by  Ms.  Brenda  Martin,  met 
every  third  Thursday  of  the  month 
in  room  160.  The  club  had  nine 
members,  but  this  fact  only  made 
the  club  more  close-knit.  One  of 
the  primary  projects  for  the  pho¬ 
tography  club  was  the  annual  pho¬ 
tography  show/contest  held  during 
the  Spring. 

Officers  for  the  photography 
club  were:  president,  Tony 
Vaughn;  vice-president,  Tommy 
Massey;  secretary,  Chasity  Meadors 
and  treasurer,  Samantha  Hall.

Sharing  Common  Ground 


Fellowship  of  Christian  athletes, 
Future  Educators  of  America,  and 
PARTY  were  clubs  involved  with 
school  and  community  activities. 

The  officers  for  FCA  were:  cap¬ 
tain,  Robin  Pendleton;  co-captain, 
Justin  Plaster;  secretary,  Hope 
Mills;  treasurer,  Eric  Mckinney  and 
recruiter,  Chris  Pilson. 

FCA  was  a  very  active  club.  The 
club  members  assisted  Liberty  Fab¬ 
rics  in  Woolwine  on  Family 
Octoberfest  Day,  helped  the  Min¬ 
isterial  Association  in  “Home 
Alone’’,  held  their  annual  family 
outing,  and  kept  themselves  busy 
contributing  to  various  charity  or¬ 


ganizations.  A  sense  of  accomplish¬ 
ment  and  fulfillment  was  an  added 
bonus  for  these  students  who  gave 
their  time  willingly  to  others. 

FCA  also  participated  in  Na¬ 
tional  Prayer  Day  where  approx¬ 
imately  twenty-six  people  came  out 
and  prayed  around  the  flagpole. 
This  gave  members  a  sense  of  unity 
and  also  helped  the  club  to  recruit 
possible  new  members. 

PARTY,  otherwise  known  as 
Positive  Attitude  Required  To¬ 
wards  Yourself,  allowed  students  to 
become  more  aware  of  the  world 
around  them  and  how  to  function 
in  that  world.  Such  activities  as  the 


participation  in  Red  Ribbon  Week 
during  October,  the  Prom  Promise 
the  week  before  the  prom,  and  a 
talent  show. 

With  a  total  of  thirty-five  mem¬ 
bers,  PARTY  was  required  to  elect 
officers  in  order  to  keep  the  club 
more  organized.  Officers  were: 
president,  Stephanie  Clark;  vice- 
president,  Andrea  Reynolds;  sec¬ 
retary,  Evelyn  Glenn;  treasurer, 
Evette  Penn  and  historian,  Lori 
Bowman. 

Recruiting  future  educators  of 
America,  FEA  not  only  helped  stu¬ 
dents  in  realizing  their  dreams  of 
becoming  teachers,  but  also  appre¬ 


ciated  the  efforts  of  the  teachers  of 
today.  Activities  such  as  a  Retired 
Teachers’  Tea,  a  toy  and  clothing 
drive,  and  a  field  trip  to  a  Wake 
Forest/Duke  football  game  served 
as  times  of  fun  and  friendship. 

Officers  for  FEA  were:  presi¬ 
dent,  Sarah  Still;  vice-president, 
Phebe  Mabe;  secretary/treasurer, 
Rebekah  Layman  and  reporter, 
Kristi  Rachels.  These  officers  had  a 
lot  of  responsibility,  but  they 
served  as  great  contributors  to  the 
club  as  a  whole.

Band,  Chorus  Promote 
School  Enthusiasm 


Chorus  students  eagerly  adapted 
to  the  creative  style  of  Mr.  John 
Martin.  In  his  first  year,  Mr.  Mar¬ 
tin  taught  the  students  how  to  im¬ 
prove  breathing,  posture,  and 
sound  quality.  Concert  I  and  II 
choir  students  were  seldom  bored 
when  warming  up  before  class  for¬ 
mally  started.  With  amusing  vocal 
exercises  and  massages  to  get  every¬ 
one  relaxed,  students  found  it  was 
much  easier  to  sing  their  best.  Cho¬ 
rus  performed  at  many  assemblies, 
pep  rallies,  and  public  perfor¬ 
mances.  To  reach  their  essential 
goal  of  ‘‘group  unity”,  choral  stu¬ 
dents  participated  in  a  retreat  at  the 


school  just  before  Thanksgiving. 
Led  by  a  guest  conductor,  this  was 
a  time  for  students  to  improve  on 
musical  selections  just  in  time  for 
the  annual  ‘‘Desserts  and  Carols” 
performance. 

The  band,  led  under  newcomer 
Mr.  Kevin  Lewis,  reached  new  and 
exciting  goals.  With  becoming  a 
‘‘true”  marching  band  in  mind, 
the  cougars  went  to  band  camp  at 
Ferrum  College  during  the  sum¬ 
mer.  During  this  time,  band  stu¬ 
dents  learned  to  play  music  needed 
for  the  upcoming  year,  as  well  as 
perfecting  their  performance  for 
competitions.  The  marching  band 


kept  the  crowd  involved  while 
playing  at  pep  rallies,  basketball 
and  football  games,  assemblies, 
and  the  annual  Christmas  parade 
held  in  Stuart  on  December  third. 
They  traveled  to  competitions,  in¬ 
cluding  Orlando,  where  they  re¬ 
ceived  many  excellent  ratings,  tro- 
phies,  and  awards  for 
acheivements. 

Of  course,  no  halftime  perfor¬ 
mance  or  competition  would  be  as 
successful  or  complete  without  the 
flag  corps.  Flag  corps  members 
added  dazzling,  intricate  routines 
to  make  the  band  performance 
complete.  Led  under  Ms.  Lorna 


Dean,  the  young  ladies  also  re¬ 
ceived  commendable  ratings  and 
awards.  The  creative,  dedicated 
students  bring  pride  and  enthu¬ 
siasm  to  the  school,  and  are  to  be 
commended  for  keeping  the  school 
on  a  “up”  beat. 

All  in  all,  the  band,  chorus,  and 
flag  corps  brought  admiration  to 
the  school  for  all  of  these  organ¬ 
izations’  hard  work.  Without 
them,  the  school  would  not  have 
been  able  to  create  school  spirit 
needed  for  the  winning  football 
season  that  we  enjoyed  for  the  first 
time  in  school  history. 


1,  2,  READY  MARCH!  The  Pride  of 
Patrick  County  marches  onto  the  field  dur¬ 
ing  a  band  competition.  Led  by  drum 


major  Teri  Clark,  the  band  received  many 
rewards  and  honors.

“Ca  va  bien?”  or  how  about 
“Como  estas?”.  These  were  the  sec¬ 
ond  and  third  most  common  lan¬ 
guages  heard  throughout  the  school. 
Spanish  classes  often  sang  Spanish 
songs,  watched  movies  dubbed  in 
Spanish,  and  participated  in  skits 
and  crafts  involving  Mexican  tradi¬ 
tions  and  holidays.  In  addition  to 
regular  classroom  participation,  stu¬ 
dents  enjoyed  being  able  to  speak  a 
language  other  than  English 
(especially  when  it  came  to  speaking 
in  codes). 

“Spanish  club  gives  students  the 
opportunity  to  experience  a  different 


International 

culture.  In  the  Spanish  club,  we  prac¬ 
tice  all  of  the  traditions  the  natives  of 
hispanic  countries  do,  such  as  giving 
children  candy  in  their  shoes,”  com¬ 
mented  senior  Jacinda  Smith. 

Activities  included  celebrating 
“Day  of  the  Dead”,  traveling  around 
the  school  singing  Spanish  Christmas 
carols,  and  occasionally  busting  a  few 
pinatas.  160  Spanish  club  members 
did  their  share  of  community  service 
by  participating  in  a  Christmas  toy 
drive  and  sending  Christmas  cards 
out  to  the  elderly.  Club  members 
were  proud  of  the  fact  that  they  were 
able  to  help  the  elderly  at  Christmas 


Experiences 

and  participate  in  other  various  com¬ 
munity  activities.  Spanish  club  also 
went  on  a  field  trip  to  an  authentic 
Mexican  restaurant  and  hired  a 
Marachi  band  to  play.  Spanish  club 
officers  were:  Tina  Foley-president, 
Wyshona  Lawson-vice  president,  Ra¬ 
chel  Pendleton-secretary,  Alison 
Brammer-treasurer  Teresa  Hutchens- 
historian,  and  Danielle  Muller- 
reporter. 

Spanish  club  sponsors  were  Anita 
Knight,  Ann  Belcher,  and  Mary  Lee 
Mitchell. 

The  French  club  also  served  the 
community  by  making  Thanksgiv¬ 


ing  and  Christmas  cards  for  the  nurs¬ 
ing  home  in  Stuart.  The  French  clufc 
participated  in  many  other  worth¬ 
while  activities  such  as  throwing  a 
Mardi  Gras  celebration  in  which  the 
club  listened  to  festive  music,  en¬ 
joyed  typical  French  food,  and 
viewed  bright  costumes  and  deco¬ 
rations.  Mrs. Debbie  Fultz  was  a 
sponsor.  Officers  were:  Kandy  Mar¬ 
shall,  president;  Brandy  Boyd,  vice- 
president;  Eydie  Smith,  treasurer; 
Zach  Kreager,  secretary;  Rachel  Tur¬ 
ner,  reporter.  The  60  club  members 
also  feasted  on  a  typical  french  snack 
during  each  club  meeting.

Science  club  is  an  organization 
involved  in  participating  in  activ¬ 
ities  to  better  benefit  the  environ¬

Officers  for  the  science  club 
were:  president,  Joey  Thompson; 
vice-president,  Janna  Foley,  and 
secretary/reporter,  Dewey  Rober¬ 
son. 

Meeting  in  room  203  every 
third  Thursday,  the  Technology 
club  consisted  of  eleven  members 
who  worked  on  experiments  and 
electronics. 

Preparing  for  a  future  career  in 
technology,  the  club  members  par¬ 
ticipated  in  activities  that  would 
allow  them  to  see  what  it  was  going 
to  be  like  to  work  in  a  changing 


world.  TSA  members  participated 
in  a  candy  bar  fundraiser  to  fund 
their  trip  to  VPI  to  see  either  a  solar 
race  car  or  wind  tunnel  testing.  The 
purpose  of  their  field  trip  was  to 
learn  how  solar  energy  and  aero¬ 
dynamics  were  applied  to  the  dem¬ 
onstrations  and  show  their  use  in 
modern  technology. 

Under  the  supervision  of  Mr. 
Bill  Clement  and  Mr.  Nelson 
Moore,  officers  for  the  Technology 
club  were:  president,  Reggie  Cas- 
sady;  vice-president,  Glen  Barrett; 
treasurer,  Ethan  Weber,  and  sec¬ 


retary,  Nathan  Petway. 

The  learning  experiences  for  the 
club  were  not  confined  only  to  the 
high  school.  The  technology  club 
entered  one  member  in  a  Statewide 
Technology  Competition  in  Roa¬ 
noke  in  the  field  of  CAD  drafting. 
This  provided  several  opportunities 
for  recognition  and  a  chance  to 
compete  with  high  school  students 
throughout  the  state  of  Virginia. 
This  helped  to  put  P.C.H.S.  on  the 
map  as  far  as  outstanding  academic 
acheivements  go. 


OKAY,  PEOPLE,  WHAT’S  THE  DIF-  curriculum,  Mr.  Arnie  Kloock  teaches  his

Students  Learn  True 
Meanings  of  Life 


In  order  to  become  a  member  of 
the  prestigious  Beta  dubs,  students 
were  required  to  maintain  a  GPA 
of  3.5  or  higher.  Becoming  a  Beta 
member  was  a  difficult  task,  but 
staying  a  member  proved  to  be 
even  more  difficult.  Each  student 
was  evaluated  at  the  beginning  of 
the  year  to  make  sure  that  only 
qualified  students  stayed  in  the 
dub;  others  were  put  on  probation. 

Senior  Beta  members  began 
their  annual  doughnut  sales  during 
the  fall  in  order  to  raise  money  for 
the  upcoming  trip  to  the  National 
Beta  Convention  in  March.  In  ad¬ 
dition  to  this,  members  worked  to 


prepare  food  baskets  for  needy 
families  during  Thanksgiving  and 
Christmas.  Other  projects  for  Sen¬ 
ior  Beta  were  the  maintenance  of 
the  PC  sign  near  the  football  field 
and  the  service  to  the  elderly  in 
which  the  dub  has  participated  in 
for  the  past  several  years. 

Officers  for  Senior  Beta  were: 
president,  Kevin  Handy;  vice- 
president,  Susan  Hopkins;  secre¬ 
tary,  Teri  Clark;  treasurer,  Wes 
Jones;  reporter,  Daisy  Scott  and 
historian,  Wyshona  Lawson.  Along 
with  the  officers,  the  sponsors  (who 
were  Mary  Jane  Taylor,  John  Hal¬ 
sey,  and  Jane  Akers)  had  to  work 


hard  throughout  the  year  to  ensure 
the  prosperity  of  the  dub. 

Junior  Beta  spent  a  lot  of  time 
working  with  the  community  and 
planning  group  activities.  They 
were  in  conjunction  with  the 
jaycees  and  social  service  agencies 
during  the  Christmas  holidays  and 
participated  in  the  collection  of 
food,  toys,  and  dothing  for  the  less- 
fortunate  families  of  the  area. 
Groups  of  five  or  six  took  the  re¬ 
sponsibility  of  buying  items  for  a

groups  also  addressed  Christmas 
cards  to  Blue  Ridge  Nursing 
Home  residents  and  rendered  ser¬ 


vice  to  the  elderly  by  running  er¬ 
rands  and  performing  chores. 

Eighty-one  members  were  spon¬ 
sored  by  Mrs.  Debbie  Blackwell 
and  Ms.  EEzabeth  Warren.  Offi¬ 
cers  were:  president,  Dana  Nelson; 
vice-president,  Holly  Weber;  sec¬ 
retary,  Raina  Feron;  treasurer, 
Dana  Shough  and  reporter  Hope 
Mills. 

Members  planned  a  field  trip  in 
the  spring.  They  still  had  time  for 
fun  even  though  they  spent  most  of 
their  time  contributing  to  bettering 
the  welfare  of  others.

Amy  Nelson  helps  friend  Latrivia  Roger  out 
with  her  homework.  Both  girls  were  in¬

HERE,  PLEASE!  Curt  Rorrer  and  Tane 
Sheppard  converse  during  math  class.  Both 
Tane  and  Curt  were  members  of  the  Varsity 
dub.  Tane  was  a  member  of  the  varsity 
girls'  basketball  team,  varsity  cheerleader, 
and  member  of  the  track  team,  while  Curt 
spent  most  of  his  time  running  for  the  cross¬ 
country  team  in  the  fall.  Several  of  the 
Varsity  club  members  were  not  only  in¬ 
volved  in  AP  dasses,  but  several  sports  as 
well.  Many  students  played  sports  the  entire 
school  year,  had  a  part-time  job,  and  took 
difficult  dasses.  Some  of  these  students  did 
not  know  what  ‘spare  time’  meant.

Varsity  Club  with  Special 
Olympics 


Each  year,  a  diverse  group  of 
high  school  lettermen  join  together 
i  to  form  the  Varsity  Club.  Instruct¬ 
ed  by  sponsor  Mr.  Bob  Burnette, 
almost  100  members  met  monthly 
in  either  the  cafeteria  or  audito¬ 
rium.  Officers  were  Christian 
Batcheller-  President;  Wes  Jones- 
Vice  President;  and  Christy  Carl- 
son-  Secretary.  These  officers,  who 
were  elected  at  the  beginning  of  the 
school  year,  had  several  responsi¬ 
bilities  including  taking  club  roll, 
counting  and  collecting  candy  sales 
money,  and  planning  club  actiti- 
\  vies. 

Club  members  stayed  busy  par¬ 


ticipating  in  their  letter  sports  and 
also  in  planning  activities  for  the 
Varsity  Club.  One  very  “special” 
activity  hosted  by  the  Varsity  Club 
was  the  Annual  Spring  Special 
Olympics.  Many  special  young  ath¬ 
letes  competed  in  the  activities  held 
down  at  the  Cougar  field  and  track. 
Varsity  Club  members  assisted  in 
all  aspects  of  the  day’s  events,  and 
many  made  special  friends  with  the 
participants.  Without  a  doubt,  the 
Special  Olympics  was  the  year’s 
highlight  for  most  members.  Todd 
Keith  said,  “Special  Olympics  re¬ 
quired  effort  from  all  the  club 
members  to  make  the  day  a  suc¬ 


cess.  It  was  cool  meeting  and  mak¬ 
ing  friends  with  the  younger  ath¬ 
letes  in  the  events.” 

Fundraisers  aided  as  an  impor¬ 
tant  part  of  funding  the  Special 
Olympics,  and  members  worked 
hard  to  raise  funds  through  fall 
candy  sales.  Jon  Helms  said  “It’s 
alot  of  trouble  carrying  that  candy 
around  and  selling  it,  but  it’s  going 
to  a  good  cause.” 

Varsity  Club  members  had  their 
share  of  fun  times  throughout  the 
year.  One  exciting  outing  was  an 
excursion  to  a  Va.  Tech/Rutgers 
football  game.  Everybody  had  a 
fun  time  and  got  to  see  the  VA 


Tech  campus.  This  was  good  be¬ 
cause  many  of  the  Seniors  planned 
to  attend  Tech  after  high  school. 

This  year’s  group  of  talented 
athletes  participated  in  activities 
and  made  lasting  friendships,  along 
with  memories  that  will  stay  with 
them  for  a  ling  time.  Eydie  Smith 
added,  “Varsity  Club  is  a  cool  or¬ 
ganization  because  it  allows  many 
different  kinds  of  athletes  to  unit  as 
one  group.”  The  atheletes  learned 
more  about  cooperation  than  they 
usually  do  on  the  field/court.

Inner  Club  Council  and  Student 
Council  Association  played  impor¬ 
tant  roles  in  governing  the  student 
body.  Led  by  Mrs.  Diane  Hughes, 
SCA  organized  all  major  events  in 
the  school  such  as  assemblies,  pep 
rallies,  elections,  dances,  and  var¬ 
ious  other  activities.  With  approx¬ 
imately  50  members,  SCA  is  com¬ 
posed  of  representatives  from  each 
classroom.  When  school  first  began 
in  August,  candidates  for  repre¬ 
sentatives  were  chosen  from  each 
class.  The  class  voted,  and  a  de¬ 
termined  and  hard-working  stu¬ 
dent  from  each  homeroom  was  sent 
to  the  auditorium  for  monthly  SCA

meetings. 

“I  really  enjoyed  being  a  home¬ 
room  representative  for  my  class 
and  part  of  the  SCA  because  it 
made  me  feel  like  I  had  a  part  in 
what  went  on  for  my  school”,  said 
Misty  Hazelwood. 

Officers  for  SCA  were  as  follows: 
MaCray  Huff,  president;  Stephen 
Walker,  vice  president;  Susan 
Cummings,  secretary;  Rachel  Pen¬ 
dleton,  treasurer;  Jon  Hutchens, 
historian;  and  Sarah  Handy,  re¬ 
porter.  These  dedicated  individuals 
made  the  organization  a  success  by 
efficiently  planning  and  overseeing 
events. 


ICC  consists  of  all  club  pres¬ 
idents  and  is  organized  by  pres¬ 
ident  Stephen  Walker. 

‘‘The  ICC  can  have  alot  of  in¬ 
fluence  on  the  school  if  the  clubs 
work  together  on  their  projects. 
ICC  is  based  on  the  clubs,  without 
them  the  ICC  would  not  be  needed 
or  useful.  The  ICC  tries  to  set  the 
standard  for  clubs  and  help  to  give 
ideas  for  new  and  enterprising  ac¬ 
tivities,”  said  Stephen  Walker. 

The  ICC  is  an  organization  that 
serves  to  keep  a  check  on  club 
activities  throughout  the  entire 
school.  It  also  is  responsible  for 
making  the  requirements  that  each 


club 
recognized.

for  the  common  goal  of  making  the 
school  a  better  place. 

SCA  secretary  Susan  Cummings 
said,  ‘‘Being  in  the  SCA  is  quite  an 
advantage  because  it  gives  a  person 
opportunities  to  interact  with  peo¬ 
ple  not  only  thier  age  but  of  all 
ages.  I  think  I  can  speak  on  behalf 
of  all  the  affairs  in  saying  that  there 
has  been  nothing  in  this  year’s  SCA 


activities.

"I  enjoy  being  in 
the  SCA  because 
it  is  a  lot  of  fun 
and  I  feel  that  I 
have  a  positive 
influence  on 
the  school."

SCA  was  a  major 
change  in  everyday 
school  life  for  me, 
but  it  really  paid 
off  because  being

SCA  officers  learned  that  there  was  no  such 
thing  as  all  work  and  no  play.  While  the 
SCA  team  kept  the  school  running  smooth¬ 
ly,  they  knew  how  to  do  it  creatively.  With 
all  the  stress  that  these  students  sometimes 
came  under  a  good  break  was  necessary 
every  now  and  then.  Susan,  along  with  all 
the  other  juniors,  were  excited  about  Ring 
Day,  and  knew  that  it  was  a  day  that  would 
be  memorable  for  years  to  come.

fundamentals  of  art.  Students  also  enjoyed  a  chance  to  show
